The Infrastructure and Environment Committee received the report (April 9, 2021) from the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services for information.
Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to outline the safety plan developed for the operation of drive-through Community Environment Day events during the COVID-19 pandemic. The report includes details on the guidelines and procedures contained in the safety plan to be used for drive-through events at the City of Toronto Drop-Off Depots.
The safety plan was developed in the summer of 2020 in consultation with Toronto Public Health and the People and Equity Division, and aligned with the Government of Ontario's COVID-19 pandemic restrictions at that time (Fall 2020). The safety plan is continually updated and is delivered based on current public health measures.
With the guidance of Toronto Public Health, Solid Waste Management Services approved the safety plan in September 2020 and implemented it at the seven drive-through Community Environment Days at Drop-Off Depots held during September and October of 2020. Guidance from Toronto Public Health has since been sought for the 2021 drive-through events.
