Solid Waste Management For Toronto

As of January 1, 2003, the Canadian city of Toronto, Ontario started to ship one hundred percent of its garbage into the landfills of Michigan.  In 2003, Toronto exported garbage at a

A very important issue tied to Canada’s future sustainability is that of recycling. There is currently a shortage of suitable landfill spaces in Canada, and the current landfills produce harmful emissions (Statistics Canada, 2008). Using methods to divert as many of these wastes away from landfills will help to slow their growth and improve Canada’s future outlook. Recycling is one such method.

The legislation of the two state laws (the Long Island Landfill Law of 1983, and the Solid Waste Management Act of 1988) controls solid waste management activities in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Since then, factors such as mismanaged land filling and Landfill closures have led to a fundamental shift in the roles of local governments and the private sector relating to the collection, transportation, and disposal of solid waste and recyclables.

Today, garbage is collected with highly polluting diesel fueled trucks and then that garbage is brought to transfer stations where the waste is then sorted and transported to another solid waste management facility for further processing, treatment, transfer or disposal. This process is again handled using highly polluting diesel fueled trucks that ship it to landfills and waste to energy incinerators in other states. The long-term plan introduced is to reduce costs drastically increasing recycling which in turn will reduce waste and to build a waterfront transfer system in order to be less dependent upon the highly polluting diesel trucks and use barges hauling containers to ship garbage and also trains to transfer the waste.

The article Greenhouse Gas Emissions and the Ontario Waste Management Industry by Maria Kelleher, Christina Seidel, and Ralph Torrie, examined cap and trade policies for greenhouse gases and waste management systems in Ontario, Canada. The authors purpose was to summarize the connections between Ontario’s waste management industry and greenhouse gas emissions, as wells as to identify and explore opportunities and challenges associated with GHG cap and trade systems in industries (Kelleher, Seidel, & Torrie, 2015). A cap and trade policy for GHGs is in preparation for implantation in Ontario. The waste management industry influences GHGs in a variety of ways. Some of these influences include

There is room for a lot of improvement in Quebec’s waste management: currently, about half of household waste is eliminated (MDDELCC, 10) which is not economically viable. To reach its sustainability goal, the province drafted the Quebec policy for waste management 2011-2015. By the end date, it aims to reduce household waste to 700kg/person and to increase the diversion rate of paper, plastic, glass and metal scraps to 70%, and of organic waste to 60% (MDDELCC, 11). An additional benefit of these propositions is the creation of hundreds of jobs (MDDELCC, 2011). The plan, albeit optimistic, is still unclear about how to effectively implement waste recovery. In 2012, 6 years after the start of the City of Montreal’s composting initiative, only 12% of organic waste was being recovered (Bruemmer, 2014). Montreal plans on building two biomethanization plants (where compost is converted into biogas), along with two composting facilities (Bruemmer, 2014). Four proposed sites have been rejected due to public opposition while an existing one closed this summer. Situated in Montreal’s Southwest borough, the latter estimates that its yearly methane offset equals 800 000m3, “which represents about 35 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide. This is worth nearly 500 000$ in the Quebec cap-and-trade system” (Compost Montreal,

The world population is around 7 billion people and every person produces about 4.4 pounds of waste per day. More people will lead to the increase of wastes products and then will increase the risk of environmental issues. Today, the world able to recycle only 30% of waste products. According to Environmental Protection Agency “Approximately 55% of 220 million tons of waste generated each year in the United States ends up in one of the over 3,500 landfills. Municipal solid waste landfills are the second-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States, accounting for approximately 22 percent of these emissions in 2008”

parties considered fairly in the policy? Why or why not? How could the policy be improved?

Oak Flats is a community in Australia that has a growing population in 2529. Due to an increasing population I started to wonder whether the waste in Oak Flats was in control and how much of this waste is recycled. My aim is to find out how much waste is produced form each household and how much is recycled in each household and depending on my results ways to reduce the amount of waste produced from each household. My investigations have led to their being a moderate amount of waste being produced in Oak Flats community although it’s low it could be lower and I will explain strategies in to how we can reduce the amount of waste and ways to show what can be recycled and what can’t as I surveyed a few houses and found about

While driving by Interstate Waste Services facility at 375 US Highway 1 and 9 in Jersey city, New Jersey, I immediately noticed the poverty surrounding the facility. From my observation I would say the yearly median income in that neighborhood is anywhere between eighteen and twenty-five thousand dollars. With such a low income, it is quickly identified that this was a lower class neighborhood. I also noticed many Hispanics or African Americans outside their homes. In my opinion, I believe the facility is located in a lower class neighborhood because with not much money coming from the people who live near the facility, they know that they wouldn’t be able to do much even if they did not want it there. It also allows them to rent/sell the houses for much lower prices so families who are limited with their spending to buy or rent a house will be able to do so on a budget.

In the last 40 years, the rate of solid waste recycling in the U.S. has steadily increased. The now old adage, “reduce, reuse, recycle” has become ingrained in the fabric of today’s culture. The impact of your ecological footprint is a constant concern, but you may know someone who thinks less about the environment and more about their own self-interests. Most everyone knows at least one person whose self-centered view of the world leaves recycling to everyone else. In this article, learn how to appeal to their selfishness by explaining how recycling can benefit them.

The revised criteria in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 258 addresses seven major Critical Requirements of MSWLFs, which include location restrictions which ensure that landfills are built in suitable geological areas away

Residence halls, offices, and classrooms make up the majority of municipal solid waste remaining at UIC. Collectivity these buildings produce significant quantities of waste. Of particular concern to waste streams is move out day when mass quantities of furniture, school supplies, etc. are thrown out. When offices move or go paperless and digitize they can also produce substantial waste materials. To promote more shareable economies many of these items could be collected by UIC, charitable organizations, thrift stores, and/or advertised online. These items could be reused or repurposed by artists, residents, teachers, and nonprofits to help connect communities to new conceptions of waste products.

Studies have shown that the amount of waste has been increasing dramatically due to the increase of the worldwide population. There are various types of wastes, such as municipal solid waste, industrial waste, hazardous waste, sewage waste and many more. As a result of these wastes, necessary precautions have been taken by the waste management to prevent an environmental impact, which might cause serious damage for the future generations.
