Burning not option for proposed dump Technology too costly without city garbage contract: Waste Management JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD Waste Management Canada said it would have proposed building an incinerator instead of another landfill if the city had given it control over residential garbage. Back in 2006 when the company first submitted a proposal to the city, it asked for a guaranteed amount of residential waste to make Wheelabrator technology a viable option, said Ross Wallace, site manager at the Carp Road landfill. “What was asked is that we would need a commitment from the city for a certain amount of the residential waste stream for a certain number of years to make the Wheelabrator option financial viable,” he said. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said the biggest issue with the technology is it’s old. “It’s not as clean as today’s technology,” said Qadri. “Wheelabrator technology, if you look at the loca-
tions in the U.S., the majority of them are near bodies of water because that technology requires a huge amount of water supply. That could be one of the reasons the city turned them down because at Carp Road we don’t have that kind of water supply.” The new landfill site would have to charge a much higher dumping fee, and with other sites nearby, it would lose out on a lot of business, said Wallace. “We don’t control enough of the waste stream,” he said. “It’s got to be financially viable.” He said the reason Waste Management put a 10-year plan in the 2010 proposal was because the company believes new and better waste technologies will be available by that time. “Right now today, there’s nothing else available but mass burn and landfills,” said Wallace, who lives within 500-metres of the dump in Almonte.
