Origin
Summary
This report responds to City Council's direction to provide an update on trends over the next ten years for Green Bin Organic Waste Processing Capacity in the Province and related potential cost per tonne. The report also identifies the material amounts and how organic waste is managed by the City; an update on the implementation of the City's Long Term Waste Management Strategy; and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change newly approved Food and Organic Waste Framework.
The report also includes two recommendations related to services required to continue processing of source separated organics at the Disco Road Organics Processing Facility. The first recommendation is for delegated authority to the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services, to negotiate and enter into agreements to operate, maintain, or undertake capital improvements at the Disco Road Organics Processing Facility. This delegated authority will allow for the continuation of operations when the current Operate and Maintain contract ends on June 30, 2019. The second recommendation is to increase the contract financial value and extend the term with the vendor currently providing Solid Waste Management Services engineering and contract administration services, and overseeing the completion of the remaining infrastructure deficiencies at the Disco Road Organics Processing Facility.
