Dufferin County community members are invited to help shape the future of sustainable waste management in Dufferin as the County continues to update its Long-Term Waste Management Strategy.

The County received many comments from residents and program users through its fall survey and Table Talks. Residents can now complete the Long-Term Waste Management Strategy spring survey and attend one of two open houses to share their feedback and discuss identified project options.

The County wants to hear resident feedback on ten potential options for the future of waste management in the community.

Participants can visit the Join In Dufferin website to complete the spring survey or contact the County’s Waste Services Division at wastestrategy@dufferincounty.ca or 519-941-2816 extension 2620 for a paper copy of the survey.

The survey is open until Sunday, May 17 at 11:59 pm. Those who complete the survey can be entered for a chance to win one of 10 $25 gift cards to a local retailer or restaurant!

The County is also hosting two open houses to discuss the Long-Term Waste Management Strategy update and the potential options. These open houses will provide an opportunity for residents to discuss the options with the project team and/or provide more feedback. Open houses are being held at the following times and locations and will include draws and giveaways for attendees:

• Shelburne: Thursday, May 14, 3:30 to 6 pm, Shelburne Public Library – 201 Owen Sound Street, Shelburne
• Orangeville: Thursday, May 14, 6:30 to 9 pm, Alder Recreation Centre – 275 Alder Street, Orangeville

The County thanks residents for getting involved and shaping the future of waste services in Dufferin County. Learn more about the project on Join In Dufferin.
