City Looking for Feedback on Next Phase of Sustainable Waste Strategy

The City of Greater Sudbury invites residents to have a say on the Sustainable Waste Strategy that will guide how the City manages waste over the next 10 years. 

The City is developing the strategy to improve its waste management programs and services. This is important to help optimize landfill space, achieve climate change goals, reduce and divert waste, improve convenience and operate cost effectively. 

The strategy will identify options to advance the City’s environmental sustainability performance while providing quality services and working towards the Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) goal of 90 per cent solid waste diversion by 2050.

During the first two phases of the strategy’s development, the City engaged residents and local organizations to better understand priorities and perspectives on the waste management system. That feedback informed the strategy’s vision, guiding principles and evaluation criteria that will be used to help shape the future of waste management in Greater Sudbury. Development is now in Phase 3, and residents are asked to provide input on options that could be included in the strategy.
