Waste Requirements for Design of New Developments and Collection

The City of Hamilton's Waste Requirements for Design of New Developments and Collection establish the requirements that must be met in the design of new Developments, Redevelopments, and requests for Municipal Waste Collection Services, to ensure safe, efficient, and equitable provision of these services in Hamilton.

The Waste Design Requirements establish design principles intended to ensure that Developments:

• facilitate the safe and efficient movement of Waste Collection Vehicles; and
• provide equitable access for all Occupants to City-provided Garbage disposal and Waste Diversion Programs applicable to the Development type, with Waste Diversion Programs meeting or exceeding the level of accessibility provided for Garbage disposal. In all cases, Developers and Owners should make best efforts to support these principles, helping ensure that Municipal Waste Collection Services operate effectively, promote equitable access to Waste Diversion Programs, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute to the fair and responsible use of municipal services available to Occupants.
