The Toldo Lancer Centre is advancing its commitment to sustainability by moving towards sending zero waste to landfill.
As part of this effort, the facility is transitioning to a new waste diversion system where all waste is sorted into organics for composting or recyclables such as containers and paper. Traditional landfill-bound garbage bins are being phased out in favour of clearly marked waste sorting stations designed to help users properly dispose of materials.
New waste sorting stations in the Toldo Lancer Centre will help eliminate sending garbage to landfills.
"The Toldo Lancer Centre is proud to lead the charge towards sustainability by committing to zero waste initiative," says Rick Daly, athletic facilities and services manager. "This step reflects our dedication to creating an environmentally responsible space that benefits not only our campus but also the broader Windsor-Essex community."
The new waste signage invites campus occupants to actively participate in reducing waste and driving change, says sustainability officer Nadia Harduar: "Their involvement is crucial to the success of the program.
"This aligns with the goals of the Campus Sustainability Framework, which sets out campus-wide priorities to reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and promote sustainable operations," she says.
