O'Brien won't support landfill proposalCBC News 14 April 2010. Ottawa mayor Larry O'Brien said he plans to fight a proposal to build another landfill to replace the existing Carp Road dump. On Tuesday Waste Management Inc. announced it is seeking approval from the Ontario government to build a facility capable of accepting up to 400,000 tonnes of waste per year. The facility would be located on the same 142-hectare property in Ottawa's western rural outskirts where it already operates a 35-hectare landfill, which the company said it would close once the new landfill was up and running. O'Brien said landfills are "the option of last choice" and not needed with the city's new organic waste program up and running and plans to work out a deal with Plasco Energy Group to direct some waste to its waste-to-energy plant.
