The City of Mississauga is hosting a drop-in open house to share information and hear from residents on the future of short-term rental accommodations in Mississauga.

At the drop-in open house, residents and stakeholders will be able to view and share their thoughts on the various regulatory options and proposed amendments to the Zoning By-law.

What:      Drop-in Open House – Short-Term Accommodations in Mississauga
 
Where:    Civic Centre, Committee Room D, 2nd Floor, 300 City Centre Drive, Mississauga       [map]
               
When:     Monday, March 6, 2017
 
Time:      3 to 8 p.m.
 
Residents can also complete an online survey and review the City’s report on the current status and options for regulating short-term accommodations in Mississauga.

Opportunities for short-term accommodation (STA) have grown rapidly in cities around the world, including Mississauga. People can connect online with those who have a spare room, entire apartment, or house to rent out on a short-term basis, usually less than 30 days.

City staff will include input received in a final recommendation report to the City’s Planning and Development Committee later in 2017.

The Region of Peel would like to remind residents who generate household medical waste and sharps that they need to properly dispose of them.  Plastics that have been used for household medical waste cannot go in recycling. They must be double-bagged and placed in the garbage.

Household medical waste (other than sharps) includes dialysis tubing, filters, disposable towels and sheets, colostomy bags, IV bags and tubing, gastric and nasal tubes, and soiled dressings and incontinence products. They must be double-bagged and placed in the garbage.

Residents who use sharps (needles, syringes and lancets) should obtain a free biohazard container from one of the Region’s six Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) so that they can:

• place their sharps in it,
  
• return the biohazard container filled with the sharps to a CRC for free disposal, and
  
• get a free replacement biohazard container.
  

Please note: the sharps should not be placed in any other container or cart.

Residents can also visit pharmacies participating in the Ontario Sharps Collection Program for a similar biohazard container service. (Check: healthsteward.ca/returns/Ontario)

If residents have more household medical waste than will fit in their garbage, they should contact the Region at 905-791-9499 or wasteinquiry@peelregion.ca or call 905-584-2216 toll-free in Caledon to inquire about how to be added to the Region’s medical waste exemption list.
