Community Partnerships

Waste Connections is committed to being a good neighbour and a responsible partner in the communities we serve. In the community of Navan, and the City of Ottawa, the Navan Waste Recycling and Disposal Facility has become an integral part of the economic and social fabric having operated in the region for over 50 years. This will continue over the future operating life of the facility.

The Community Fund has been managed by the Friends of the Mer Bleue (FOMB) since 2008. The Community Fund allocates funds to Scholarships and community projects.

Between 2010 and June 2025 the Navan Waste Recycling and Disposal Facility has donated over $1 million to various community projects. In addition, a total of $250,000 of Scholarships have been awarded to students in the community between 2014 and 2025.

Some of the projects that have received funding from the Navan Waste Recycling and Disposal Facility in the community include the Navan Curling Club, the Navan Community Association Pavilion Project, the Orléans Health Hub Indoor Living Wall, the Greater Avalon Community Association Garden, the Petrie Island Canoe Club and the Miracle League of Ottawa Baseball Park.
