Multi-unit Sector Waste Diversion Program

Public engagement was completed with property owners and waste haulers during the development of the program to seek their perspective on the current state of waste diversion and ideas for integration. Input expressed included: 

• A need for education and enhanced communication for both property owners and tenants 
• Support from the City to make the transition, to maintain service levels, and collaboration with waste haulers 
• Reasonable timelines for properties to make the transition 
• A desire to minimize expenses and financial implications of increased waste diversion efforts 

Importance of Waste Separation 

Recycling and organics diversion benefit our city by reducing the amount of waste that is sent to landfills, minimizing the need for more space to be acquired for future landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that would be generated from the decomposition of organic waste. It also conserves resources like food waste by reintroducing them into our natural environment through composting.  

The expansion of waste separation requirements to multi-unit properties is supported by the feedback heard from the development of the City’s 2019 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Action Plan.
