Sustainability
You may notice the existing garbage cans along the market are not in use while the market is in operations. This is because we have a dedicated trash station located within the middle of the market. Look for the green AWARE tent!
The Whistler Farmers’ Market is proud to partner with AWARE Whistler to help reduce waste and support a more sustainable community.
Since 2013, AWARE’s Zero Waste Heroes have helped market visitors sort compost, recycling and landfill correctly while sharing practical tips about Whistler’s local waste systems.
