Iskut Waste Management: From First Load to Final Disposal

At Newmont’s Red Chris Mine, responsible waste management is a critical part of how we operate safely, efficiently, and in alignment with our environmental commitments. Iskut Waste Management plays an important role in supporting these efforts, delivering reliable waste disposal and environmental services tailored to the realities of remote, industrial operations in northwest British Columbia.

Owned by the Iskut Band, Iskut Waste Management brings both operational expertise and a deep understanding of the local environment to the work they do. Their services—from waste collection and recycling to compliant disposal solutions—are designed to help minimize environmental impacts while meeting regulatory requirements. This local knowledge and capability are essential in a region where protecting land, water, and wildlife is paramount.

Through their work at Red Chris, Iskut Waste Management exemplifies how Indigenous-owned businesses can be integral partners in responsible resource development. By aligning strong environmental stewardship with dependable on-site performance, the company supports our shared goal of operating safely, sustainably, and in a way that creates lasting economic opportunities for local communities
