Snow Disposal Facilities

City snow disposal facilities no longer accept snow from private contractors

The City’s snow disposal facilities no longer accept non-city snow from private operators. They continue to accept snow from contractors hauling snow from public property on behalf of the City of Ottawa.

Haulers are reminded to dispose of snow in a responsible manner. Both the Use and Care of Roads By-Law No. 2003-498 and the Parks and Facilities By-Law No. 2004-276 prohibit the dumping or otherwise depositing of snow or ice on any highway or in any park.

For additional information on this matter, please call Max Miner, Program Manager, Operations Research Services, Surface Operations Branch, at 613-580-2424, ext. 13768 (TTY: 613-580-2401).
