The largest Casino operator in Western Canada was finding it difficult to manage disposal costs at each of their locations. The maintenance department of each casino was responsible for waste management making it very difficult to have a cohesive program company wide. Waste Collective Canada was engaged to reduce waste disposal costs, implement a complete recycling program, comply with municipal regulations, and completely develop and implement a sustainable waste and recycling program at their newly built Casino in the interior of BC.
