No.: 10296-001 2020-11-25 Executive Summary Cambium Inc. was retained to prepare a Waste Management Optimization Study for the Municipality of Hastings Highlands in order to enhance current waste management operations, implement best practices, and to create innovative, cost-saving solutions for long term success. The goals were to: Reduce the net cost for waste management; Create efficiencies/improve site operations; Increase waste diversion; and Reduce the negative environmental impacts associated with waste management. Cambium Inc. completed a review of current waste management programs and practices and their performance, a financial review, and the development of options to achieve these goals. Hastings Highlands is seeking to make improvements in waste management service delivery considering the following: The amalgamation of 5 former townships (and their resources) into the Municipality Uncertainties surrounding the Waste Free Ontario Act (2016) and the transition to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Diminishing capacity of the Municipality’s landfill sites Possible efficiencies for a large rural service area and a large seasonal population While waste management in the Municipality is a multi-faceted, complex issue, Cambium Inc. sought to provide recommendations based on best practices, data, and information from the Municipality (and the associated Waste Management Committee). Current Waste Management System Data collected between 2016 and 2019 by the Municipality serves as the baseline for this Study.

Including children and families at the centre of the approach that was used, Hastings’ plan reflects both the assets and current unique needs of this community, and a commitment to working towards the Ministry of Education’s (MEDU) vision that “Children and families are well supported by a system of responsive, high-quality, accessible and increasingly integrated early years programs and services that contribute to healthy child development today and a stronger future tomorrow.” In February 2016, MEDU announced the consolidation of the four existing provincially-funded child and family programs into one model and branded as Ontario Early Years Child and Family Centres. Currently in Hastings County two of the four child and family programs exist – Ontario Early Years Centres (OEYC) and Child Care Resource Centres (CCRC).
