Niagara Region seeking input on future of waste management

May 6, 2024

Niagara Region is looking for input from the public as well as a variety of public and private sectors to help develop a Waste Management Strategic Plan (the Plan) that will provide the framework and direction for waste management in the region over the next 25 years.

The Waste Management Strategic Plan will look at a variety of services and programs affecting waste management in the region and consider possible options such as current service levels, introduction of new programs, disposal capacity and alternative technologies. 

Interested parties who would like to share their ideas and perspective on the development of the Plan can take part in a variety of engagement opportunities to have their say.

Members of the public can attend one of the following virtual open houses about the Plan:

Public Virtual Open House #1

Thursday, May 9, 2024, 7 - 8 p.m.

Public Virtual Open House #2

Wednesday, May 15, 2024, 7 - 8 p.m.

There will also be opportunities for businesses, school boards, and Non-Governmental Organizations to attend sector-specific virtual open houses and provide input specific to their sector.

Industrial, commercial and Institutional sector:

Virtual Open House

Thursday, May 9, 11 a.m. - noon

Non-governmental organizations and school board sectors:

Virtual Open House

Friday, May 10, 11 a.m. - noon

Feedback can also be shared through an online survey available May 6 – 31.

These engagement opportunities will inform the first phase of the project and provide valuable information as the Plan moves forward. The Plan will consist of three key phases that will answer:

  • “Where are we?” by assessing the current system (Phase 1)
  • “Where do we want to go?” by investigating options (Phase 2)
  • “How are we going to get there?” through selection of the preferred option(s) (Phase 3)

Interested parties will have additional opportunities to provide input during each phase of the Plan.

Those interested can visit the Region’s website to learn more about the Waste Management Strategic Plan and engagement opportunities.
