Whereas landfill is widely recognized as a poor environmental option for dealing with waste management; and
Whereas landfills are huge producers of carbon dioxide and methane, both major contributors to global warming and climate change; and
Whereas we have approximately 15-20 years remaining in our current landfill capacity, and an urgency to deal with global warming.
Therefore, be it resolved:
a) By the end of the first quarter 2020, staff report to Council outlining the regulatory requirements for a review of waste management options; and
b) The report includes the City’s workplan and timelines for undertaking the review of waste management options for the future.
