The Waste Management Assistance Program has been providing technical and financial assistance to groups of municipalities to address their waste management needs. Assistance covers regional waste management planning studies and up to 75 per cent of capital and engineering costs associated with the design and construction of regional waste management systems including regional sanitary landfills, waste transfer stations and related waste diversion facilities. Since the program's inception in 1976, 34 regional waste management systems have been completed in Alberta and another seven are being developed.
