Garbage and Recycling

Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling (BASWR), together with its member municipalities, is reviewing how waste and recycling services are delivered and governed to help ensure they remain effective, sustainable, and responsive to community needs.

As part of this initiative, BASWR is exploring a new governance model and undertaking a comprehensive business case study to evaluate service delivery, financial considerations, operational best practices, and opportunities for improvement. The study is being supported by municipal staff and external consultants and will help inform future decision-making by participating municipal councils.

Public Virtual Town Hall

Residents are invited to participate in an upcoming Virtual Town Hall, facilitated by KPMG Canada, to learn more about the proposed governance model for BASWR.

This session is part of the ongoing public consultation process to gather resident feedback on the governance and operating model for BASWR. The Town Hall will be focused on proposed changes in the governance structure of BASWR, and not on the operations or service delivery of the organization.
