Solid Waste Master Plan

The City is developing a new Solid Waste Master Plan, to be completed in early 2024. The plan will guide how we manage solid waste over the next 30 years. As Ottawa grows and changes, we want to ensure our waste services evolve to meet new needs and challenges. This page will be your hub for updates and opportunities to provide feedback.

If you require assistance or are experiencing technical problems with this page, please contact us at wasteplan@ottawa.ca.
