CREDDO representatives Geneviève Carrier and Ayoub Hammoudi gave interested residents a presentation on the benefits of composting and recycling. The presentation was even more prescient given the Quebec government’s goal of eliminating all organic waste from landfills by 2020.

With the Quebec government’s plan to phase out organic waste from landfills by 2020, municipalities are under the gun to form a plan for managing organic waste.
Although waste management is a responsibility of municipalities and not the MRC level, the MRC Pontiac hosted an information session for residents curious about reforming their waste disposal practices.
The event was hosted by the Outaouais Regional Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development (CREDDO) at the Little Red Wagon Winery in Clarendon.
The goal of the event was to educate people in the region about environmental issues and how they can be proactive when it comes to waste management.
