This action plan will serve as a road map to determine how residual materials will be managed in Montreal West and guide the Town in actively responding to ongoing environmental changes and challenges. This action plan will also encourage and support the cultural changes in the Town around reducing waste and better sorting at the source, for both residents and municipal assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This residual materials management action plan puts forth multiple projects that are in accordance with the goals and objectives of the RMM policy that was adopted in April 2021. This policy is also a part of the move to modernize waste management in Quebec that aims to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strive for Zero Waste,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase the rate of residual materials diverted from landfill,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lead by example as a municipality, and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Promote a collaborative and collective intelligence culture.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RMM policy and the associated action plan is a step in the right direction towards building a more sustainable future, all of which would not have been possible without the continued support and feedback from various stakeholders. It is with this collaborative approach of leveraging community resources and collective effort that the Town of Montreal West wishes to implement the RMM action plan. Behavioral and cultural changes are needed at all levels to meet the Town\u2019s ambitious targets to reduce materials generated and improve waste collection performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of the RMM policy and the action plan rests on a sustained collective effort. We would like to thank all Montreal West community members whose experience, opinion, and expertise have been invaluable in the development of the policy and action plan. We hope to continue this collaborative partnership as we begin the implementation of the action plan to apply best practices in the management of our residual materials and, to echo Mayor Masella\u2019s words, take part in \u201cthe great green shift\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/montreal-west.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2022-2026-RMM-Action-Plan.pdf\" style=\"background-color:#05593a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022-2026 Residual materials management action plan<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are pleased to announce the launch of our residual materials management (RMM) action plan as adopted by Council on June 27, 2022.
