Press Release from Minden Hills

Waste/Materials at Waste Disposal Sites

 

For Immediate Release
Minden, Ontario
Thursday, September 14, 2023
4:00 PM
Release # 23-69

 

Subject:        Inspection of Incoming Waste/Materials at Waste Disposal Sites

Residents are advised that in accordance with legislation and regulations, the Township of Minden Hills requires that all incoming waste and materials be inspected prior to entering any Waste Disposal Site. Site Attendants are then able to direct residents to the appropriate waste areas for proper disposal.

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) regulates all disposal of waste in the Province of Ontario.  Each waste disposal site, landfill, compost facility, etc.  is governed by the Environmental Protection Act. Under this Act, the Township must apply and be granted an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) to operate a Waste Disposal Site.

The Township’s ECA states:

“The Owner shall develop and implement a program to inspect waste to ensure that the waste received at the Site is of a type approved for acceptance under this Approval.”

To prevent prohibited materials coming into our Waste Disposal Sites that would violate the ECA or pose a health and safety risk, our policies protect the Township, residents, and staff by requiring Site Attendants to inspect the materials (waste, recyclables, etc.) in each clear garbage bag or load every time a vehicle enters the site.

Thank you for your cooperation.
