Our Centre includes a Material Recovery Facility, a Centralized Composting Facility, an Outdoor Composting Area, a Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling area, a permanent Household Hazardous Waste Depot, a waste oil transfer station and a Landfill.

The Centre serves a population of 40,000 and will greatly reduce the amount of waste going to Landfill. The Centre’s goal is to reach a diversion rate of 65%.
