Owners of multi-unit dwellings can expect:
- The City to work with each property and support the transition
- A dedicated webpage with resources and guidance on preparing for the change
- Freedom to select their haulers of choice
- To submit a Diversion Plan on the implementation of organic and recycling requirements for their building by Jan. 1, 2026
- Support to help educate residents of multi-unit properties about sorting waste
Less waste is sent to the landfills when organics and recycling are properly sorted. This minimizes the need for more space to be acquired for future landfills and reduces greenhouse gas emissions that would be generated from the decomposition of organic waste. It also conserves resources like food waste by reintroducing them into our natural environment through composting.
