Secure Document and IT Media Shredding Facility Permit - Ottawa
Official title: Multishred Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
Multishred Inc. wants a permit to operate a secure shredding facility in Ottawa. They'd destroy confidential paper documents, hard drives, cell phones, and other IT equipment. The shredded materials would then be sent elsewhere for recycling or disposal.
Why This Matters
Live or work near Stevenage Drive in Ottawa? This facility would operate on weekdays, processing up to 3.3 tonnes of materials daily. Trucks would come and go with shredded waste. If you have concerns about noise, traffic, or how waste is handled, now's the time to speak up.
What Could Change
If approved, Multishred could process up to 160 tonnes of secure waste annually at this location. They'd be allowed to store up to 9.91 tonnes on-site at any time. Operations would be limited to weekdays, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Key Issues
- Should this secure shredding facility be approved for this Ottawa location?
- Are the proposed operating hours and capacity limits appropriate?
