The Early Adopter Incentive Program is to encourage the early adoption of multi-stream waste management programs (including food and yard waste service). Early Adopter Incentive Program (EAIP) funding is available for Regina’s non-designated properties used for residential and non-residential purposes.  This includes the Industrial Commercial and Institutional (ICI) sector (businesses, companies and organizations) and the multi-family sector (condominiums and apartments) operating within Regina city limits regardless of size, number of employees or number of tenants. Some exceptions apply:

  • Provincial and Federal Governments and Crown Corporations are not eligible for EAIP funding as they are not legally bound by City bylaws. The EAIP is designed to support entities required to comply with The Waste Management Bylaw.
  • Home-based businesses are not eligible for EAIP funding if they receive City waste service.
  • Multi-family properties who receive City waste services are not eligible for EAIP funding. The EAIP is designed to support properties who contract private waste services.
