Ontario’s Food and Organic Waste Policy Statement mandated Chatham-Kent to reduce food and organic waste from urban settlements by 50% by 2025. With Ontario’s landfill capacity projected to be exhausted by 2032 and Chatham-Kent’s waste generation on the rise, the Waste Management Team is undertaking a feasibility study of a comprehensive organics diversion program for Chatham-Kent. This study was approved by the Council in August 2022.
The Feasibility Study will be conducted in stages:
Developing a curbside green bin program
Planning of a home composter program
Determining the viability of an organics depot collection program
This project page provides an outline of the scope and timeline for developing a curbside green bin program in Chatham-Kent’s urban settlements. The page will be updated as new documents and information become available.
We value your input and want to hear from you! As we embark on this journey to enhance Chatham-Kent’s organic waste diversion efforts, we invite you to leave a comment, share your opinions and expectations, and stay current by visiting this page often.
