Not sure how to answer the City’s Long Term Waste Management Survey?
We’ve gone through all 23 questions and explained how we’d answer each one, and why, including the question that matters most.
The survey is open until Monday, December 14 and takes about 20 minutes. Use our suggestions as a starting point, and put things in your own words wherever you can. Your own experience and concerns carry the most weight.

Why it’s worth your time
The survey results will likely help shape a recommendation to Council in early 2027 on future of waste and whether Ottawa builds a garbage incinerator. Several questions are written as if an incinerator is already a done deal, and the cheapest, most effective option, reducing our waste, isn’t on the list. Thoughtful answers from residents are the best way to make sure the City hears the full story.
