Concerted efforts have been made on a global scale to recycle as much garbage as possible. The Toronto waste management system has made remarkable improvements to combat this problem. Owners have to separate their refuse type into the specific blue or green bins to simplify recycle processing. There are other containers available for the various types. Failing to do so can result in a fine being issued as this is the law in Ontario.
In the past landfill sites were the city's biggest concern Thanks to the implementation of new recycling laws hundreds of tonnes of waste has now been diverted to recycling plants. The number of landfills have been drastically reduced from 161 down to only 1. Organic refuse diversion is the largest one by far in the overall program.
The green bin has been designated for the recycling of organic waste. Leftover food, peels, pet droppings, wet paper and diapers are amongst the items that fall under this category. The process has taken off so well that the waste management Richmond Hill currently has a participation of 90% of its residents. They are ultimately the cause that the total success rate of the recycling operation is well over 60%.
In the town of Markham recycle depots are strategically placed for easy access. Recycling has become a well organised business and the 4 depots that are provided are adequate to meet the needs. Hazardous waste, electronic equipment and appliances are amongst certain items that will not be accepted for recycling at the depots. They will receive tires, blue box contents, scrap metal, light bulbs and clothing. All the depots have different opening hours and finding out first before rushing off would be advisable.
The recycling of used electronic equipment has become a huge concern and is the latest introduction into the program. The city will collect these separately and at specified dates. For convenience large recycling containers have been placed at multi-residential units. This arrangement will speed up the process considerably.
For electronic recycling York Region has made public drop-off depots convenient to the public. Items that fall under this category are computers, televisions, DVD's, stereos etc. Items that go with it such as cables, CD's and software are also acceptable. Microwave ovens fall under hazardous waste and is not accepted. The same applies for electronic thermostats as it contains mercury. The limit that has been imposed are 4 items at a time. For broken televisions and computers rules apply on acceptance.
Converting landfill gas into electricity is high on the agenda of the department. There are also concerted efforts being made to convert Biogas, which is released by organic waste, into natural gas. The same attention is being applied to plastics and porcelain materials. All other products are also being put under scrutiny to improve the diversion process.
Toronto waste management researchers are keen to increase the diversion process to its maximum within a short period of time. As the outcome can only be beneficial to all the focus has fallen on landfill dumps. It has been noted that if 70% of the landfill is diverted there will be massive savings on electricity and reductions in pollution. Greenhouse gas and eCO2 will be lessened and the environment can be restored.
