The Bruce Area Solid Waste Recycling (BASWR) currently operates as a joint undertaking pursuant to Section 20 of the Municipal Act, 2001.

The BASWR member municipalities are seeking proposals for the preparation of a comprehensive business case study to support the formation of a Municipal Services Corporation (MSC). This initiative follows a substantial change in service delivery and direction to modernize governance, improve liability protection, and enable future service delivery through a share capital corporation, as permitted under Section 203 of the Municipal Act, 2001.
