Brockton wants to do more to reduce, reuse and recycle.
Brockton wants Hanover to partner on a waste diversion master plan for its shared Hanover Walkerton Landfill site.
Brockton Council wants to aim for a future 80 per cent waste diversion rate.
Currently the shared landfill site only boasts a 35 per cent diversion rate.
Brockton Councillor Chris Peabody says now is an excellent time to take on such a project since an engineering firm is already working on the landfill expansion.
Brockton has also asked to firm to investigate what it would take to reach an 80 per cent waste diversion target.
Peabody says this master plan should include realistic goals and innovative ideas and he hopes Hanover jumps onboard the idea.
No word yet as to how much it would cost to create this waste diversion plan.
Brockton will request a price quote from the engineering firm.
The Hanover Walkerton Landfill site only has a year and a half of life left in it.
Work is underway to expand the site — and the proposed expansion would add another 25 years to the landfill.
