Otter Lake Waste Management Facility is a waste management facility in Otter Lake, Nova Scotia, a community of the Halifax Regional Municipality. The facility was built by the Halifax Regional Municipality in the 1990s to replace an outdated solid waste disposal site in Upper Sackville, Nova Scotia.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]

History

Built in 1996 after years of planning, the facility was one of the first large projects to be completed in the newly-formed Halifax Regional Municipality. The site was designed to last about 66 years and turned in part of the Western Commons Wilderness park area.^[6]

Facility

The site is on 190-acres of land that is a major role in HRM's integrated waste/recourse management strategy which requires several important conditions about materials that can be placed in the site: hazardous waste, recyclable material and unstabilized organic material. The site features a front end processor (FEP) which will sort out unwanted materials.^[1] It is located off exit 3 of Nova Scotia Highway 103.
