City seeks community feedback on waste management options

The City of Guelph is seeking feedback and insight from the community as part of its Solid Waste Management Master Plan (SWMMP) Review.
After extensive community consultation through an open house, focus group workshops, surveys, and on-going input from the Public Steering Committee, the review team has identified potential waste reduction and diversion options that will build on Guelph’s success and take current and future needs into consideration.
Residents are invited to learn more about these options and to share their feedback at the second SWMMP Review open house.

Community feedback will be used to inform the City’s new SWMMP—the guiding strategy for Guelph’s waste management over the next 20 years.
The SWMMP Review began last spring and has included evaluating the current waste system and programs, assessing Guelph’s future needs, identifying new waste management trends and the costs and effectiveness of new approaches, and exploring options to increase diversion.
