SOURCE-TO-REUSE MATCHING · ONTARIO
Ontario Excess Soil Exchange connects construction and excavation source projects with receiving and reuse sites seeking material for a potential beneficial use. Share excess soil details to explore a match in Niagara Region, Hamilton or Toronto and the GTA. O. Reg. 406/19 and the Soil Rules may apply.
FEATURED OPPORTUNITY · WELLAND, NIAGARA REGION
A receiving site in Welland is reviewing project inquiries for soil that may meet applicable Table 5.1 criteria, including some material above Table 3 values. Table 5.1 is for defined stratified, non-potable groundwater conditions. A Qualified Person must assess the source and receiving-site conditions, and acceptance, capacity and placement requirements must be confirmed for each project. Where all applicable conditions for direct beneficial reuse are met, qualifying soil may avoid landfill and may not be designated as waste under O. Reg. 406/19. Table values alone do not confirm eligibility.
DATED REGULATORY UPDATE · 2027
From 1 January 2027, Ontario restricts landfilling certain excess soil that meets Table 2.1 RPI or cleaner, subject to defined exceptions. Check current rules for your project.
SOURCE-TO-REUSE MATCHING
We review source project details alongside receiving-site needs. Soil quality, destination suitability, regulatory requirements and written approvals must be confirmed before material moves.

We review source project inquiries alongside receiving-site requirements across Southern Ontario.
A SIMPLE, CAREFUL PROCESS
Provide a location, estimated volume, timing and any known soil information.
We assess the inquiry and may introduce parties where the project appears suitable.
Parties verify documents, approvals, logistics, destination capacity and written terms.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
