Opportunities sought to help spur more people to recycle

A clear garbage bag program has been proposed, and automated garbage collection might come to Greater Sudbury after the current collection contract caps off in either 2028 or 2029

With recycling efforts appearing to have stagnated in Greater Sudbury, much more needs to be done to reach the city’s goal of 90-per-cent waste diversion by 2050.

Approximately 92 per cent of Greater Sudbury households are using blue boxes this year, which is up from last year’s 88 per cent. This move has been credited with diverting waste from the city’s landfills, but more will need to be done to reach the city’s long-term goal. Dillon Consulting project manager Betsy Varghese walked the city’s elected officials through the latest on the strategy during their Oct. 16 operations committee meeting, calling attention to upcoming public consultation sessions and a report to be tabled with city council in early 2024.

Residents would also be permitted to use small opaque privacy bags within each clear bag to help cover items they don’t want their neighbours to see.
