The fact that a company can come and process this application with the province and our own city councillors and townspeople don't even get notice until over a year later is atrocious. Dresden is a well known agricultural community that supports local business and a welcoming small town feel. Read more

Up to 700 trucks per day???? How is this environmentally "friendly"?????? Not to mention the infrastructure in Chatham Kent, or more specifically, Dreeden. Was never intended to support this kind of traffic. Read more

WE DON’T WANT YOUR DUMP! My family just built our dream home outside of Dresden (most likely on your route to the dump- 700 trucks a day) and we have small children who we are extremely concerned about. The increased traffic daily will be horrible. Read more

We do not support this proposal. This is too close to town. This is too close to our waterways. The truck traffic will be horrible and disrupt our community in many many ways!! The noise will be horrendous. This will have a detrimental environmental impact on the migratory birds in the area. Read more

This proposal would be a disaster to the community! Not just the truck traffic and noise but The environmental impact would be horrible. Nesting migratory birds in the area would be disrupted. We have nesting bald eagles in the area. Please do not let this happen!!

Garbage and disposal of waste should be the responsibility of the community that created the trash. Disposal of waste, should not be the burden of a rural community 300 Km from the source, Toronto region, to manage. Read more

How will molly's creek and its other tributaries be protected from the encircled pollutants? What mediation will be put in place? What quarterly testing processes will the Ministry conduct to ensure pollutants do enter the creek?

Moley's creek feeds directly into the Sydenham river within 300 meters of the proposed site. What additional protections will be put in place for the endangered species that inhabit the creek and the Sydenham River?

I am a resident of Dresden, Ontario and I know the need for landfills/recycling centres/dumps, is a necessary part of our world. I get that but to put a major facility less than 1km from a town, and rezone valuable agricultural land, just doesn't make sense. Read more

Do your Enviromental assessment and part in this....sure! Will you fix our infrastructure that cannot possibly accommodate the traffic increase? Will you keep all materials being trucked here contained during transport? Read more

Molly’s Creek runs through the proposed dump area and into the Sydenham River. How can you ensure that this expansion does not negatively impact this waterway and its inhabitants? https://www.sydenhamriver.on.ca/sydenham-sar/

Whether they propose all the right things, it is not a benefit to our community and it is too close to town. Not to mention our water wells, waterways, wildlife are not worth the risk of this proposal. Please say no to York1, protect our Town!

Dresden does not want this. Go away and take your garbage and all the pollution that comes with it elsewhere. Preferably to your own back yard. If this was such a good project then why not build this facility closer to where all the waste will come from. GO AWAY
