Through updating the Plan, the City will consider proven waste diversion programs, policies and strategies that have been implemented successfully in other jurisdictions across Ontario.

Recommendations on waste management activities generated through the review process will go to City Council to consider updates to the City’s Waste Management Master Plan.

The Plan looks to improve on the City’s already strong landfill diversion rate of 53 per cent, which puts the City among the leaders in Ontario for waste diversion. Numbers are released as part of the annual Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority Datacall, Ontario's standardized waste reporting and calculation process. The numbers released on Jan. 13, 2022 reflect data for 2020.
