New waste diversion program coming to city parks in Barrhaven

Council approved a new Parks Waste Collection and Diversion Strategy(link is external) to expand and improve waste diversion services in public parks. Starting in 2026, 48 parks across all wards will receive three-stream bins for garbage, recycling and organics, with 100 more parks added each year until 2029. Off-leash dog parks will also get organic waste bins to help divert waste from these locations.
