Waste Watch Ottawa is committed to improving The City of Ottawa’s waste management practices and contributing to a greening of the city by supporting the development of new and improved waste diversion programs and initiatives designed to minimize the amount of waste being disposed of and avoiding the greenhouse gas impacts associated with waste generation and waste disposal.
WWO develops and presents evidence based, and informed opinions on how to improve the design and effectiveness of solid waste diversion from disposal policies and programs including the management of organic wastes. It achieves its mandate by undertaking research, reviewing and re-thinking economic, policy and engineering approaches and trends, both nationally and internationally, in the six “R’s” of rethink/redesign, reduce, reuse, recycle/compost, material recovery and residuals management.
