The City of Charlottetown's second Waste Reduction Week in Canada took place from October 18 to 24, 2021 alongside numerous other municipalities across Canada. Each day was designated a theme which focused on tools and resources relating to a specific aspect of waste reduction. The themes were: circular economy, textile waste, e-waste, plastic waste, food waste, sharing economy, and swap and repair.
The Sustainability Department once again partnered with several local organizations to highlight the businesses and waste reduction services available in Charlottetown. Partnerships included: the Department of Environment, Water, and Climate Change; Charlottetown Tool Library; Happy Ocean; and local second-hand stores. The week also included the release of educational resources and incentives.
