Waste Transfer Station Approval - 779 Powerline Road, Brantford
Official title: Waste Connections of Canada Inc. - Environmental Compliance Approval (waste)
Waste Connections of Canada wants to build a waste transfer station in Brantford. The facility would handle up to 500 tonnes of garbage daily from homes and businesses. It could operate around the clock, year-round. The company also plans to add a public drop-off area in the future.
Why This Matters
Live near Powerline Road in Brantford? This facility could mean more truck traffic in your neighbourhood. Operations could run 24/7, which might affect noise levels. On the plus side, a local transfer station could improve waste collection efficiency in the area.
What Could Change
If approved, Waste Connections could accept up to 146,000 tonnes of waste annually at this site. The approval includes 'operational flexibility,' meaning the company could make certain changes to operations without needing new permits. A future public drop-off area could also be added.
Key Issues
- Should a waste transfer station handling 500 tonnes daily be approved at this location?
- Are 24-hour operations appropriate for this site near Brantford?
