halton.ca REGION Halton Abalt It’s Our Own Garbage What We Did in 2021 Thank you Halton residents! By participating in Blue Box, Green Cart, Yard Waste, Reuse and Household Hazardous Waste programs, as well as diversion programs at the Halton Waste Management Site (HWMS), Halton residents continue to maintain a high residential waste diversion rate. In 2021, 58 per cent of residential waste was diverted from the landfill. Also, through our shared commitment, we have helped to extend the lifespan of the landfill from 2012 to between 2044 and 2048—over 30 years longer than expected. This has saved taxpayers. more than $15 million by deferring the costs of building a new site. Halton Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee The Committee was established as a Condition of Approval for the Halton Waste Management Site (HWMS) when it opened in 1992. The Committee is comprised of members from Burlington, Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville. The Committee advises Halton Regional Council regarding programs and strategies g and minimize the amount to promote the 3Rs—reduce, reuse, recycl of waste going to the landfill. In 2021, the primary focus was to update Committee members about Halton Region waste programs, the changes to pi Responsibility programs under the Waste Free Ontario Act, and the development of a new Solid Waste 'd by Region Council in May 2022.
