Community Impact Report, 2021

  • Our goal is zero waste

    Raven is a non-profit social enterprise committed to the environment and community. Since 1989, Raven has been a leader in advocating for Zero Waste systems at both the community and government levels and providing access to options to support a Zero Waste way of life. Read more about what we’re all about.

  • From 2011-21, Raven has helped divert nearly 34,000 tonnes of waste

    That may sound like a lot of tonnes but the weight is not the important part. Diverting waste is about preventing land from being consumed with waste; preventing land, water, wildlife and people from being poisoned; and keeping our natural environment from being destroyed in the production of new things. Learn more about what you can do.

  • More than a Recycling Depot

    We run the largest recycling facility in the Yukon. But recycling is not all that we do. After many years of advocating for a new, more stable recycling system, we are able to set our sights higher up the waste management hierarchy. Raven ReCentre is more than a rebrand. We are working to provide more options for reuse, repair, repurposing and rethinking. We are grateful to serve a community that is dedicated to the environment, and excited to work with community members, organizations and other stakeholders on new solutions and programs. We invite you to reimagine waste diversion with us!
