• 10 REASONS TO STOP THE DUMP
  
  1. The groundwater that many residents rely on for drinking water is vulnerable to contamination
  2. WM will not be able to control toxic odour from affecting the community
  3. It’s too close to thousands of people and future development
  4. Landfills bury billions of dollars of potential energy
  5. Ottawa’s waste plan doesn’t need 6.5 million cubic metres of landfill capacity
  6. A new mega dump is an invitation to accept garbage from other parts of Ontario
  7. Landfills are time bombs that continue to contaminate the water and air for hundreds of years
  8. Air and groundwater contamination from landfills are a serious health concern
  9. An abundance of landfill capacity undermines Ontario’s goal of 60 % diversion
  10. A new mega dump is inconsistent with Ottawa being a clean and green city
