South Bruce Peninsula is arranging public meetings for input on the Town’s waste management needs.
Five meetings will be organized in Wiarton, Hepworth, Allenford, Sauble Beach, and one in the former Abermarle Township.
Mayor Gwen Gilbert hopes to relay the message to the residents that their landfills are filling up quickly.
She says it will cost over a million dollars to do a five-year environmental process for a new landfill.
Gilbert says the Town also wants to boost the amount of garbage being recycled.
She says it is currently at 22 percent and wants to bump that number up to at least 50 percent.
Gilbert says they are also looking into implementing a user pay system where residents pay a dollar-fifty for each bag tag.
She says households are currently allowed two free garbage bags.
Gilbert says the goal is to have a user pay system so that garbage collection can be taken off the tax roll.
No dates have been set for the meetings.
