Waste Management Advisory Committee

Resolved that the Committee approve the agenda.

Resolved that the Committee approve the minutes from the last meeting.

That the Dillon Consulting presentation regarding Kawartha Lakes Future Waste Options Study be received.

That the WMAC recommend that the city consider proceeding with vertical expansion of our landfills that are scheduled to be at capacity in the near future. Councillor Ashmore spoke against the motion, feels we’re moving backwards and should embrace technology and move forward. Brian Junkin responded that it's the least expensive option and can be done relatively quickly. Councillor Veale reminded everyone that passing this motion doesn’t stall exploring other options.

That the Waste Management Advisory Committee receives the SSO report.

That the Waste Management Advisory Committee recommends the City put forward an expression of interest to determine potential options for an SSO program

That the Waste Management Advisory Committee recommend the city consider aggressively pursuing a backyard composting program for the City to reduce our SSO in our curbside collection of waste. 6 Chris Appleton mentioned that he does not feel that it’s a substitution for full curbside collection, as it does not include meat and dairy products.

That the Waste Management Advisory Committee meeting be adjourned at 3:11pm.
