More Best Practices sessions
December 29, 2011
Following on from the sessions in Sudbury, Huntsville, Ottawa and Kingston, MWA presents two more sessions - in London and Barrie.
Two more working sessions (January 31 and February 2) seekto address this issue of Best Practicies. Anyone who has completed the Annual Municipal Datacall, will note Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) has identified a number of Best Practices for municipal blue box recycling programs, and is placing increasing importance on them as a funding criterion.
With funding from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the MWA, again assisted by Genivar, is organizing these working sessions with two mandates. The first is to provide an opportunity for municipalities to respond to WDO with concerns and suggestions that would make the Municipal Datacall “Best Practices” questions more useful and fair. The second is to teach municipalities how to answer the Best Practices questions so they can maximize their funding.
