Description
The proposed project is a partnership agreement between the K'atl'Odeeche First Nation (KFN) municipality and the Northern Farm Training Institute (NFTI) in which the KFN will develop and implement a plan to separate the largest components of its waste streams (cardboard/paper and organic waste) in a centralized location and deliver them to the NFTI where they will be used on-site for composting and energy production via Micro Auto Gasification System (MAGS), thereby diverting these waste streams from landfill.
