Due to the need to limit physical proximity as the Coronavirus Pandemic takes its course,
Probus Ottawa - Rideau Valley has suspended its
physical monthly meetings until further notice.
We are still active though and are doing our best to find ways to keep in touch with you. With that in mind we will continue to hold our
monthly presentations using Zoom Conferencing. This month's presentation will feature
Meike Woehlert

Public Works and Environmental Services
City of Ottawa who will speak to us about
The City of Ottawa's Waste Diversion Program
Meike Woehlert works with the City of Ottawa as an Outreach and Communications Coordinator for the Public Works and Environmental Services Department.
She and her colleagues inform and educate the public on City programs in the areas of Solid Waste, Water,
Parks, Forestry, Stormwater, Roads and Parking.
Meike's presentation will explain the different materials accepted in the City’s waste diversion programs collected in the green, blue
and black bins and provide information related to; household hazardous waste and tips on how to minimize your household waste.
The presentation will include a short video explaining the process of the recycling material once it’s collected at the curb and
brought to the recycling facility. The video will provide an overview of the process followed to dispose of the material once it has
been sorted and processed.
