Clarington refuses to accept Toronto waste for disposal

Clarington Council is refusing to accept City of Toronto waste for disposal at the Durham York Energy Centre located in Courtice.

Toronto’s Infrastructure and Environment Committee passed a recommendation seeking authority to negotiate sending waste from the city to Energy-from-Waste (EFW) facilities in Ontario.

Council has directed staff to notify the City of Toronto that its waste is not welcome in Clarington. Council is also asking Durham Region to notify the province and Toronto that the city’s waste is not welcome anywhere in Durham Region, said a council statement.

Currently, the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC) Environmental Compliance Approval only allows waste disposal from Durham and York Regions.
