Halton Region wants input on waste diversion initiatives Halton Region will begin a month long public engagement process in late May to ask residents for their feedback on proposed waste diversion initiatives included in the Region's Draft Solid Waste Management Strategy. The Draft Solid Waste Management Strategy identifies eleven potential initiatives that could be implemented to exceed the current residential waste diversion rate of 60 percent by an additional five to ten per cent. By implementing some of the proposed diversion initiatives, Halton may be able to divert 65 and even 70 percent of waste away from the Region's landfill site. The public engagement process includes four open houses and a phone and web survey to make it easy for residents to provide feedback and have their say on the proposed initiatives. The local open house will be held Saturday, June 18, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Gellert Community Centre, 10241 Eighth Line, Georgetown. Residents can learn more by reading Regional Council approved Report PW19-11. The Report can be viewed online at www.halton.ca/wastestrategy. Residents who are unable to attend the open houses can provide their feedback by completing an online survey located at www.halton.ca/wastestrategy which will be available starting May 28.
