Zero Waste Elgin
A resource guide for Elgin BID Members
Elgin is proud to be a Zero Waste Town!
We would like to thank our partners Waste Switch for their support and guidance as we have worked towards becoming a Zero Waste town. The project has attracted a lot of interest from the businesses and we see it as a journey not a destination. We will continue to seek out and identify opportunities for the Elgin BID business members.
On this page you will find information and resources to help your business.

“I am delighted to be working together with Elgin BID towards Zero Waste Elgin. My primary focus, as an ambassador, is in the office environment, where we can all reduce our business waste by taking sensible and cost-efficient steps. Zero Waste Elgin is an excellent project, and I am sure that we all, as a community, will benefit enormously from this project.”
