Join weekly 2 hour virtual system design discussions

Every Thursday, January 18 – February 22, 2024

After nearly a year of community engagement, ZWHI and Perpetual are moving to the next step: designing the system. This involves working with community feedback, industry knowledge, and ongoing discussions with representatives from disadvantaged communities. The goal is to create a plan covering important aspects like business costs, return bin locations, governance, and container types.

The system design process is open to the public, and we invite your participation at whatever level works best for you, whether that is joining every meeting or only attending the System Design Draft Review workshop.
