Thank you for sharing your input on waste reduction and reuse in Ottawa!

A big thank you to residents and community partners who took the time to complete the Community Waste Reduction and Reuse Survey! We received over a thousand responses.

Your ideas, insights, and experiences are helping us reimagine how we can reduce what we buy new and give everyday items a second life. Whether it’s swapping, sharing, repairing, or repurposing, your feedback is shaping the future of reuse in Ottawa.

We are happy to share the insights gathered from the survey in this 'What We Learned' report.

The report shares:

  • Ideas for further waste reduction
  • Potential barriers to remove, and
  • Input into the development of a Community Waste Reduction and Reuse Action Plan.
