In�November�of�2016,�the�Waste�Diversion�Act�was�repealed�and
replaced�by�the�Waste-Free�Ontario�Act,�which�includes�both
the�Waste�Diversion�Transition�Act�and�the�Resource�Recovery�and
Circular�Economy�Act.

This�new�legislation�will�have�a�major�impact�on�municipal�waste
management�and,�most�importantly,�on�waste�diversion�programs
you�may�operate�now�or�have�planned�for�the�future.

Municipal�blue�box�recycling�programs�will�undergo�some�of�the
biggest�changes,�as�municipalities�will�have�new�options�-�to�act
as�service�providers�to�producers�who�are�required�to�pay�for�these
programs,�to�work�with�private�service�providers,�or�opt�out�from
providing�service�altogether.

It�is�in�the�best�interest�of�municipal�governments�that�this�work
gets�done�as�quickly�as�possible,�as�the�current�proposal�to
transition�the�Blue�Box�is�expected�to�take�at�least�another�six�years
and�will�cost�municipalities�an�estimated�$780�million.�Municipalities
can�save�$130�million�per�year�by�accelerating�this�transition.

The Dirt on Composting
Composting�is�a�natural�process�in�which�organic
materials�decompose,�and�become�a�nutrient-rich�soil
amendment.�Your�lawn�and�garden�will�love�it!

Why�Compost:
 • Reduce�Greenhouse�Gases.�Diverting�Organics�from�the
   landfill�reduces�methane�emissions.
 • Stop�Soil�Loss.�The�Earth�annually�loses�75-100�GigaTonnes�of
   arable�topsoil.�Composting�returns�nutrients�back�into�soils.
 • Save�Water.�Organic�matter�retains�18-20�times�its�weight�in
   water.�1%�organic�matter�in�the�top�6''�of�soil�can�hold�27,000
   gallons�of�water�per�acre.

Compost�Tips:
  • Build�Diversity.�One�spoon�of�healthy�garden�soil�has�billions
    of�bacteria,�several�yards�of�fungal�flaments,�thousands�of
    protozoa,�and�lots�of�nematodes.�Feed�the�soil�and�the�plants
    will�grow.
  • Ways�to�Use�Compost;�soil�amendment�(turned�into�the�soil),
    top�dressing�or�mulch�(on�top�to�be�absorbed�over�time),�and
    one�inch�(or�2cm)�of�finished�compost�can�kickstart�a�garden.
  • Remember�the�Ratios.�Finished�compost�has�a�carbon�to
    nitrogen�ratios�12:1-20:1.�The�right�mix�of�browns�(carbon)�and
    greens�(nitrogen)�will�ensure�a�smooth�composting�process.�*

Recycling Matters
For�decades,�Canada�and�other�developed�countries�had�been
selling�their�waste�plastic�to�China,�where�it�was�sorted,�cleaned,
processed�and�re-used�in�the�country's�massive�manufacturing
industry.�That�all�changed�on�Jan.�1,�2018,�when�China�began
refusing�shipments�of�a�wide�variety�of�plastic�waste�products,
including�plastic�contaminated�by�foreign�materials�such�as�food�or
fabric.�This�left�many�countries�in�a�bind,�including�Canada,�where
waste�disposal�is�handled�on�a�municipal�and�regional�level.�The
Canadian�Plastics�Industry�Association�says�it�has�most�of�the�means
required�to�handle�Canada's�plastic�waste�within�the�country,�but�it
will�take�years�to�build�up�the�scale�to�handle�all�of�it.
In�the�end,�the�goal�is�to�reach�a�zero�waste�plastic�economy.�The
problem�with�achieving�a�zero-waste�economy,�in�a�nutshell,�is
peanut�butter.�Plastic�containers�that�are�collected�with�food�still
inside�-�peanut�butter�being�the�most�common�example�-�more
work�to�clean�than�they're�worth.1

What�is�in�all�that�trash?�Plastics�take�up�7%�of�the�volume�and
30%�of�the�weight�of�the�total�garbage�flow.�Right�now�around
80%�of�municipal�waste�in�Canada�ends�up�being�dumped�in�a
landfill.2

Here’s�why�recycling�remains�important:
  • Eight�million�tonnes�of�plastic�waste�are�being�dumped�into�the
    world's�oceans�each�year,�or�one�dump-truck�load�of�stuff�every
    minute.�At�this�rate,�it's�expected�that�plastic�will�outweigh�fish
    in�the�world's�oceans�by�2050.1
