Windsor-Essex businesses gathered at the WFCU Centre Saturday to shed light on reducing waste<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re bringing awareness to Canada Waste Reduction Week,\u201d said Elizabeth Elias-Henderson of the Essex-Windsor Solid Waste Authority. \u201cThere\u2019s so many things people are throwing out in the landfill that can be repurposed or given to others less fortunate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The YQG Green Expo brought together about 40 businesses in the community to help educate residents on what green businesses are about and how they are helping to extend the life of landfills<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a community drive-thru and drop-off supporting local charities<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s three depots in Essex County that you can use and we\u2019re really trying to get people to think about their waste and how they dispose of it, how they create it and what they can do to reduce it,\u201d said Cathy Griffin, also of the solid waste authority<\/p>\n\n\n\n
