The City of Timmins is developing a 25-year Waste Management Master Plan to guide how waste and diversion services will be managed through 2051. The city has opened two online surveys to collect public input, with responses accepted until Sept. 25, 2026.

The plan will shape future decisions about local waste services and the Deloro Landfill, which the city identifies as a key part of its waste system. Timmins also says the plan is intended to address changing provincial requirements, increase waste reduction and diversion, manage rising costs, and plan around the landfill’s remaining capacity.

The city says planning, approving and building a new landfill could take more than a decade and cost local taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

According to the city, the master plan will follow four steps to identify and evaluate options and produce a recommended approach for waste management over the next 25 years.

One survey is aimed at residents and asks about daily household waste and diversion experiences. The city says responses are anonymous and confidential.

A separate survey is aimed at people who own, manage or represent a business, commercial property, institution or private waste hauling service in Timmins. That survey asks about commercial waste generation, barriers to diversion and service requirements.
