City council green lights purchase of Carlsbad Springs landfill site
Fred Sherwin
Jan. 16, 2026

Ottawa city council has given staff the go ahead to negotiate, enter into and finalize an agreement to purchase the Capital Region Resource Recovery Centre, located on Boundary Road between Devine Road and Hwy. 417.

The 373 acre site is currently owned by Taggart Miller Environmental Services. Although the site went through the necessary Ontario Ministry of Environment approval process in 2017, it has remained unused since then.

During the development of the city’s new Solid Waste Master Plan last year, purchasing an existing site was one of the options put forward to deal with city’s future waste management needs.

The city’s current landfill site on Trail Road is expected to reach its maximum capacity within 10-15 years. It would take at least that long to find a new site and go through the necessary approval process.

Purchasing the Boundary Road site eliminates the need to start from ground zero and the political ramifications and fallout that inevitably ensue. It is still not known how much the Boundary Road site will cost, estimates put the price tag at between $250M and $450M.

The motion to purchase the site passed by a margin of 20-5, with Orléans East-Cumberland councillor Matt Luloff aand Orléans South-Navan councillor Catherine Kitts among the five councillors who voted against.
