The City’s Standing Committee on Environmental Protection, Water and Waste Management today approved the proposed vision, guiding principles and goals to manage solid waste, increase diversion and extend the life of the landfill over the next 30 years.

The second phase of the Solid Waste Master Plan envisions a Zero Waste Ottawa achieved through progressive, collective and innovative action, by changing lifestyles and practices over the short, medium and long term. In support of this vision, the plan sets out specific goals, such as extending the life of the Trail Waste Facility Landfill, reducing the amount of waste we generate, increasing how much we reuse and recycle, and working to reduce our waste-related greenhouse gas emissions by 100 per cent.

The report also outlines the City’s future waste management needs, gaps, constraints and opportunities, along with a high-level long list of options to support the goals of the master plan. Staff will use a technical evaluation process to narrow the list and develop two potential waste management systems to consult on with residents and stakeholders starting this fall. Council will consider the draft master plan and five-year implementation plan by early Q2 2022.

Committee approved a strategy for a curbside waste collection contract with the City’s existing service providers, Miller Waste and the In-House Collections Group. The short-term two-year sole-sourced contract will span from mid-2023 to mid-2025, with an estimated value of approximately $52 million for the first year, and $53 million for the second year. The average single-family homeowner will pay an estimated additional $13.60 over the two-year contract, less than the overall increase for the current short-term contract. Included as part of the pricing, staff will procure 24 vehicles, through either lease or purchase, for the In-House Collections Group.

Staff will develop a long-term procurement strategy for the next residential curbside collection contracts which will reflect the impacts of the Province’s regulation to make individual producers responsible for blue and black box recyclables and support the goals of the City’s Solid Waste Master Plan.

Recommendations from today’s meeting will rise to Council on Wednesday, July 7.
