Inquiries

 

9.1
EPPSC 2024-02 - Illegal Dumping

 

Submitted by Councillor Hill

On June 14, 2023, Council approved a compromise motion to introduce a new limit of three garbage bins or items per household for curbside pick-up. The rollout for this new change will begin on September 30th and be fully in-place by the end of this year. As residents adjust to this new limit, we could see an increase of “illegal dumping” where individuals take the trash above and beyond the new limit and leave it in their neighours’ lawns, in city parks or on the side of the road.

To that end, could By-Law and Regulatory Services please address the following questions to assure residents that all appropriate measures will be taken to address this issue. 

  • What is the City’s projection on how the frequency of illegal dumping will change when the new three garbage bins limit is in place?
  • How many cases of illegal dumping where successfully fined in Ottawa in 2022 and 2023?
  • Does By-law have the resources required to sufficiently respond to an increase in illegal dumping?
  • What is the current fine for illegal dumping under provincial regulation, and what steps can the City take to increase those fines? Are you currently taking those steps and if so, where are we in that process?
