Project Spotlight

The National Solid Waste Benchmarking Initiative (NSWBI) was established in 2011 with the primary goal to create a constantly evolving tool for managing and monitoring the performance of solid waste collection, processing, and disposal systems across Canada. Participants can examine other solid waste management planning strategies, cost considerations (capital and operating), program delivery approaches, challenges, and opportunities for improvement.

We aim to create a tool that is easy use, provides reliable information and, most importantly, builds upon the needs and requirements of the participating communities. Our vision is to benchmark Canadian solid waste management systems one performance measure at a time.
