In response to recent trends, rising costs and environmental impacts, Muskoka is undertaking a comprehensive Solid Waste Master Plan (SWMP) to plan for the next 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing that there was no time to waste, the District started the future planning process by completing a Waste Strategy in 2021. The master plan underway builds on this work and aligns with the District\u2019s Energy and Emissions Reduction Plan, prioritizing waste reduction as a key community initiative. By 2030, Muskoka aims to reduce garbage generation by 10% and divert 60% of all solid waste from landfills. These targets will increase to 25% garbage reduction and 80% waste diversion by 2050.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SWMP will explore comprehensive waste management options to meet the growing needs of Muskoka\u2019s community and adapt to the fast-changing waste management landscape. By focusing on sustainability, social responsibility, and economic viability, the SWMP seeks to address future waste challenges while protecting Muskoka\u2019s natural beauty and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help shape the future of waste management, the District is asking for public input on how best to streamline decision-making and set priorities for the future of waste. Public engagement kicks off this week with an online survey hosted on EngageMuskoka.ca. Muskoka is committed to building a waste management system that meets the needs of its residents and the environment while maintaining financial and operational sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on the Muskoka Solid Waste Master Plan and upcoming public engagement opportunities, visit&nbsp;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.engagemuskoka.ca\/solid-waste-master-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.engagemuskoka.ca\/solid-waste-master-plan<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the District of Muskoka The District of Muskoka is taking steps to improve the way we think about how waste is managed by considering how we can become more [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":141481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-179147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
