West Carleton Environmental Centre

Waste Management has a strong commitment
to the City of Ottawa, its immediate neighbours and
the surrounding communities.

It appears that a brochure is circulating within the community making a series of statements about our proposal. Ordinarily, we would not respond; people are, of course, entitled to their own opinions. However, there are too many inaccuracies and we thought that we would be misleading people by not responding. The statements made in the brochure, and our responses, are included in the following document:

WM responses to circulated brochure – June 21, 2010

The West Carleton Environmental Centre will focus on waste diversion, diverting as much waste as possible away from disposal to reuse and recycling for purposes. It will also include additional lands set aside for community recreational purposes and wildlife habitat as well as a state-of-the-art, environmentally engineered landfill for the disposal of residual waste while generating clean renewable energy.

Waste Management has a strong commitment to the City of Ottawa, its immediate neighbours and the surrounding communities. This commitment extends beyond just meeting regulatory standards to being responsible environmental steward and engaged corporate citizen.
