Year round at no cost! Halton's Waste Management Site, 5400 Reg. Rd. 25, Milton Learn more at www.halton.ca/naturallygreen Halton residents have always been enthusiastic about practicing the 3Rs--reduce, reuse, recycle. Residents are now diverting 60 per cent of residential waste away from the landÍll, increasing its life from 2023 to 2032! The landÍll is a valuable resource for Halton Region and is an investment worth protecting. Building upon the success of its Blue Box and GreenCart programs, Halton Region is exploring ways to further increase residential waste diversion to 65 and even 70 per cent! In consultation with the Joint Municipal Regional Waste Management Committee--a citizen's advisory committee--Halton Region has developed a Draft Solid Waste Management Strategy. The Draft Solid Waste Management Strategy identiÍes potential initiatives that could be implemented to achieve these higher waste diversion goals. You can learn more about the Draft Solid Waste Management Strategy including potential cost implications, by reading the Regional Council approved Report PW-19-11 at www.halton.ca/wastestrategy or by attending an open house.
