Ottawa Now - Ready or not, here comes a new landfill

January 14, 2026

The City of Ottawa is going to purchase a private garbage landfill in the East End, a decision that was sealed on Wednesday with a 20 to 5 vote. Mayor Mark Sutcliffe understands that residents in the surrounding areas, specifically in Carlsbad Springs, will be affected by this. He emphasizes that City Council should be sensitive to their concerns, especially over the coming weeks and months. However, he reiterated that the lot will become a landfill no matter what. Osgoode councillor Isabelle Skalski is one of the five councillors who voted ‘Nay’. She joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.
