                <text>Illegal dumping involves the disposal of waste and other unwanted material in non-designated spaces, including but not limited to landfill perimeters, public roads, public property, vacant lots, public litter bins, and remote terrain (Municipality of Dysart, 2021).&#13;
In the Municipality of Dysart et al, anecdotal records have established that roads with low foot/vehicular traffic and visibility, as well as the peripheral area of local waste disposal sites are among the most common dumping grounds within the boundaries of the municipality (Municipality of Dysart, 2021). &#13;
To mitigate the health, environmental, financial, and reputational risks associated with illegal dumping, Dysart et al developed the By-law 2021-29 to Govern the Management of Waste, which came into force and effect on May 1, 2021, replacing the previous by-law from 2006.&#13;
In order to supplement the efficacy of the new by-law, this paper will examine the risks and behaviours associated with illegal dumping, as well as provide promotion and education methods drawn from best practices enacted by other municipalities.&#13;
Approximately 320 hours of time was dedicated to the research and development of this paper. If Dysart had engaged consultants to conduct similar work, at $29 per hour, this project would have cost the municipality $9,280.</text>

                <text>Banning of single use PET water bottles has become a growing trend across Canada (Jerema, 2010). There are several reasons as to why this trend has continued to grow, with the bulk of them surrounding the environmental impacts of the PET bottle. The utilization of single-use plastic water bottles is not a sustainable option as it can lead to water shortages since the manufacturing process for a single 1L bottle of water consumes 3-5L of water (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Furthermore, the manufacturing and transportation of single-use PET water bottles is significantly contributing to climate change as they require a massive amount of fossil fuel to produce the plastic and generate significant greenhouse gas emissions to transport (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Another issue associated with single-use plastic bottles and why banning their sales is becoming more significant is that a large number are ending up in landfills, which is resulting in a loss of landfill spaces as well as the loss of the resources that have gone into the production process (The Council of Canadians, 2014). Through the implementation of a ban of single-use water bottle sales in municipal spaces, the municipality can improve their ecological footprint and ultimately become one of the Blue Communities in Canada (The Council of Canadians, 2014) should they desire to take this step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The objective of this report is to provide information to support the Municipality of Dysart et al’s desire to ban the sale of plastic-bottled water in its municipal buildings and public spaces along with the provision of suitable alternatives and appropriate communication, education and engagement to ensure the public is aware of and adopts the use of these alternatives.</text>
