A private landfill wants to take the City of Ottawa's household garbage, as the city continues to explore future options for its trash as the Trail Road Landfill fills up.
The owners of planned Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre in Ottawa's east end have applied to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks for permission to accept residential waste at its landfill at the intersection of Highway 417 and Boundary Road. Officials say the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre remains in the design phase and is not open yet.
The landfill is a joint venture of Taggart Investments Inc. and Miller Waste Systems and is currently an approved greenfield waste management facility for recycling and disposal of residual commercial and industrial waste.
"The CRRRC aims to be a key player in sustainable waste management in Eastern Ontario, offering one of the only integrated waste management facilities in the country," the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre said in a statement.
"In seeking this approval, the CRRRC will be better positioned to be part of the solution for the City of Ottawa’s current and developing waste management challenges."
Officials say no changes would be required to the approved design of the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre, and there would be no changes to the "daily, annual or total waste limits" that are part of the existing approvals.
The Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre is located on 184 hectares of property east of Boundary Road and southeast of the Highway 417/Boundary Road interchange. According to the notice of approval issued in May 2017, the residual waste disposal facility has capacity for up to 10.7 million cubic metres, and is approved to receive 450,000 tonnes of waste per year.
