A pile of organics

The City of Cornwall (the City) has initiated a Master Planning process in accordance with Approach 2 of the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) to develop a Management of Biosolids, Organics and Septage Master Plan.

How will this affect me?

The Master Plan study is assessing various options to improve the management of two key waste streams currently handled at the municipal landfill: wastewater biosolids and hauled septage. This study is also reviewing options for managing the material from the City’s organics collection program, set to begin in January 2025. The City strives towards a waste free Ontario and circular economy, and to maximize the remaining available capacity in the City’s existing landfill. Public and agency consultation is a key part of the Master Planning process. Based on your input, the Master Plan study will identify preferred solution(s) that will benefit the community over the short, mid, and long terms.

The Biosolids, Organics and Septage Master Plan (BOSMP) was completed and adopted by Council at the August 13, 2024, meeting. The council meeting and agenda can be viewed at the following links.
