Solid Waste Management Master Plan

On December 12, 2001 Hamilton City Council approved a new plan to deal with the City's solid waste over the next 25 years. The Solid Waste Management Master Plan (SWMMP) was developed by a citizen committee and calls for an aggressive 65% waste diversion rate to be reached through expanded recycling and large scale composting.
