Waste Management By-Law & Public Consultation

This bylaw repeals Bylaw 2013-45 and provides guidance and provisions for waste management activities within the township.

As waste management affects all the residents and businesses in the township, Council requested and agreed that there will be a 30-day public consultation period for the residents and business owners to provide comment regarding the bylaw.

The Township values constructive and positive input from the residents of the Township and will review all comments provided to assist in gauging public opinion of the provisions of the bylaw.

UPDATE

At the May 20,2025 Special Council Meeting, the Township of Billings Council gave first reading to the draft Waste Management bylaw and stated that there shall be a 30-day period be given for public consultation. At the same meeting Council also passed a motion to accept the Waste Management Strategy Plan.

After reviewing the initial public consultation responses, it was determined that there was an oversight by not posting the Waste Management Strategy Plan along with the draft bylaw to provide background information to the township residents that there is a plan going forward to implement waste management measures that include waste diversion, recycling and composting. It should be noted that the Township is committed to the long-term objective of managing waste initiatives that will prolong the life span of the township landfill site and demonstrate stewardship in environmental concerns.

Recycling is mandatory, unsorted garbage will not be accepted.
