The review will assess how waste services are delivered and identify opportunities to improve and modernize delivery. It will also evaluate how well current programs meet the needs of a growing and changing community, according to Cassandra Babcock, Public Works Operations Director.
“As our services evolve, it is important that we hear directly from those who rely on them,” she said. “Public input will help guide future improvements and ensure our programs continue to meet community needs.”
Feedback is being collected to understand how current programs are working and where improvements may be needed.
Input will help inform the evaluation of:
Collection schedules and service levels
Waste diversion programs
Public education
Enforcement
Waste-related by-laws
Landfill operations
Placement and maintenance of waste bins in parks, trails, and high-traffic areas
