The RM of Woodlands is preparing for a waste reduction forum.

Reeve Trevor King explains the value of the forum.

"We have a waste management committee now and we're looking at different ways to extend the life of our landfill so these types of forums we find will be very valuable to staff and our council as to how we can do that type of thing."

The waste management committee was formed in the Spring to come up with ideas for recycling and ways to better manage the waste disposal facility. The committee is composed of council members, LUD committee members, and waste disposal staff. Ray Walker is chairing that committee and King says he's doing a great job.
