Zero Waste, Maximum Impact: Our Strategic Alliance with Waste Free YEG

In a world of disposable everything, Alberta Bike Swap and Waste Free YEG are standing together to prove that the future is circular. Our Strategic alliance is built on the simple yet profound idea that we can reduce waste while building a more mobile, connected community.

Waste Free Edmonton is a non-profit organization working to reduce the amount of waste we produce in Alberta’s capital city. From advocating for single-use item bylaws to educating the public on the 5 Rs, they are the leaders in Edmonton’s sustainability movement.

Our Strategic alliance with Waste Free Edmonton (Waste Free YEG) is a powerful meeting of minds centered on the Circular Economy. As a grassroots organization dedicated to reducing Edmonton’s environmental footprint, Waste Free YEG understands that the most sustainable product is the one that already exists.

How We Work Together:

• Promoting the Circular Economy: A bicycle is the ultimate zero-waste vehicle. By facilitating the exchange of thousands of pre-owned bikes, we keep high-quality assets out of landfills and in the hands of riders.
• Carbon Accounting Integration: Our partnership helps amplify the importance of our carbon accounting. By choosing a used bike over a new one, our participants are making a measurable impact on carbon emissions—a message that resonates perfectly with the Waste Free YEG community.
• Community Advocacy: We play nicely with strategic alliances who challenge the status quo. Together, we are showing Edmontonians that waste-free isn’t just a goal; it’s a lifestyle that starts with a single pedal stroke.
