Residents invited to give feedback on potential garbage disposal options

Waterloo Region – The Region invites residents to learn more about potential garbage disposal options and share their feedback through a series of Public Information events, or an online survey. 

The Region of Waterloo's Waste Management Division has been working on a new Waste Management Master Plan. One component of the study is to look at what to do with our leftover garbage once the landfill is full, in about 20 years.  A shortlist of alternatives for final garbage disposal has been developed, and the Region is looking for feedback from residents.

Resident views and opinions are important to guide this planning process.  We invite all residents to visit one of the public information events taking place next week to learn about the waste disposal options and how they were evaluated, talk with Waste Management staff, and share your opinion on the future of waste disposal in our community.
