Today, our region diverts less than 30 per cent of waste away from disposal. We believe our Environmental Centre will help significantly increase the percentage of material that we can divert for re-use and recycling.
WM is proposing a new, integrated multi-purpose WM facility to serve the Town of Greater Napanee and the surrounding communities.
Waste diversion is the primary focus of the Beechwood Road Environmental Centre. This facility represents an entirely new approach to managing waste in our region. The proposed design is focused on dividing materials into distinct streams that will allow us to maximize re-use, recovery and recycling opportunities. This represents a significant step forward in how we can reduce our dependence on disposal and make our region a leader in Ontario in responsible WM.
The proposed facility will be aligned with the Town of Greater Napanee’s long-term WM goals and the province’s environmental values and policy statements relating to zero waste, climate change and green energy creation.
To pursue this vision, this facility will include a number of industrial, commercial and residential waste diversion operations that will maximize the value of the resources we receive. These include:
