And whereas, Section 74, Section 425(1), Section 426 and Section 429 of the
Municipal Act 2001, S.O. 2001, c.25, as amended authorizes that a municipality may, in
a by-law prohibiting or regulating any matter passed under the ʺwaste managementʺ
sphere of jurisdiction, provide that a Person who contravenes the by-law is guilty of an
offence and is liable to a fine;
And whereas, Section 127 of the Municipal Act, S.O. 2001, c. 25, as amended, permits
councils of local municipalities to pass By-laws for requiring the owner or occupant of
land to clean and clear the land, not including buildings, or to clear refuse or debris from
the land, not including buildings, to regulate when and how such matters shall be done,
to prohibit the depositing of refuse or debris on land without the consent of the owner or
occupant of the land, and to define "refuse";
And whereas, Section 180 of the Highway Traffic Act R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 180,
"Every person who throws or deposits or causes to be deposited any glass, nails, tacks
or scraps of metal or any rubbish, refuse, waste or litter upon, along or adjacent to a
highway, except in receptacles provided for the purpose, is guilty of the offence of
littering the highway";
And whereas, the Municipality recognizes the need to protect the environment, extend
the use of the Municipality's Waste Disposal Sites, reduce greenhouse gas emissions
and create useful recycling and compost products in accordance with established
policies and provincial regulations;
And whereas, Council approved the use of transparent bags for Garbage starting
September 1, 2007 to encourage waste diversion;
And whereas, Council approved banning the sale or distribution of bottled water from
