Ottawa Now - Why a proposed landfill in Ottawa's East End has nearby residents worried
November 21, 2025

According to city staff members, it’s a rare opportunity to help address Ottawa’s future garbage disposal dilemma. And earlier today, the Finance and Corporate Services Committee held a vote, with 8 of 11 voters voting in favour.
