Currently recycle for scrap metal, porcelain, clean wood, electronics, mattresses and box springs and large household plastics (e.g. lawn furniture, toys, etc.)

Potential recycling markets for carpet

Work with charities to co-ordinate advertising (furniture/textiles)

16

Target 70 ProgressTarget 70 Progress

2. Biogas Composting Facility for Mixed WasteBackground

Attaining Target 70 requires new infrastructure to process and treat residual waste

In 2008, SWMS with the Citizen Based Residual Waste Working Group evaluated the preferred site and technology for residual waste processing:

Considerations included:

ability to manage 150,000 t/yr and divert 75,000 t/yr from landfill

8-10 new % points of diversion

capital & operating costs

compliance with Ontario environmental standards and definition of diversion

proven operating history of technology

space for the facility and existing land use for site and surrounding area;

site accessibility and servicing (e.g. water, wastewater, energy); and

time to implement28

New Infrastructure to Support Strategic DirectionNew Infrastructure to Support Strategic Direction

2. Mixed Waste Processing Technology –Technology/Site Selection Process

Full range of technologies evaluated, including, mechanical, biological and thermal treatment

All City-owned solid waste sites considered

Satisfied that the considerations were met the study recommended Mechanical and Biological Treatment Technology (MBT) operating on City-owned property adjacent to Green Lane Landfill site

4. Landfill Infrastructure Challenges if Target 70 Goal is Not Reached

Very limited long-term capacity in the Province to accommodate the City’s needs

Recent agreements with Province and Michigan have stopped the shipment of municipal waste into the state

Timing to conduct an Environment assessment is 10+ yearsWith no guarantees that an EA will be approvedNo new landfill approved in the Province since Halton Region landfill in the 1980’s

$80-$100 M siting cost

Recent Ministry EA decisions indicate MOE requirement to incorporate aggressive waste diversion plans in order to be approved

35

Waste Diversion Act Waste Diversion Act

Ontario Waste Diversion Act, 2002 came into effect June 2002

Allows for the implementation of Stewardship/extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs

Requires the Stewards brand owners, first importers or retailers to bear the physical and/or financial responsibility for ensuring proper management of products and packaging at end of life cycle

36

Waste Diversion Act – Stewardship FundingWaste Diversion Act – Stewardship Funding

Currently 4 stewardship programs:

Packaging and printed material - blue box waste

Municipal Hazardous and Special Waste

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Used Tires

37

Waste Diversion Act – Stewardship FundingWaste Diversion Act – Stewardship Funding

Packaging and Printed Paper:

Fund 50% of the net provincial costs of municipal recycling programs

Since 2004 Toronto has received approximately $55 M from industry steward funding

Funding primarily offsets collection, processing, promotion and some capital costs

38

Waste Diversion Act – Stewardship FundingWaste Diversion Act – Stewardship Funding

Municipal Hazardous and Special Waste:

MHSW Program launched July 2008 and to date Toronto has received approximately $1.5 M

Stewards pay for Phase 1 material representing 70% of the total MHSW costs (e.g. paints, solvents, oil, etc.)

Phase 2 Material will be funded by the MOE representing 5% of the costs ( e.g. fluorescent lights, pharmaceuticals, rechargeable batteries)

Phase 3 Material will be funded by the City representing 25% of the costs (all other hazardous material e.g. some solvents, fertilizers etc.)

39

Waste Diversion Act – Stewardship FundingWaste Diversion Act – Stewardship Funding

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment:Industry 100% responsible for the costs of transportation/processing designated waste electronics (computers, televisions, cameras, cell phones, etc.)

City receives approximately $220.00 per tonne to cover the cost of collecting the material

Approximately 60% of City cost

Used Tires:Industry 100% responsible for the costs of processing transportation and collection costs

The City receives $88.00 per tonne which covers the full cost to operate the depot program

40

Waste Diversion Act – Stewardship FundingWaste Diversion Act – Stewardship Funding

Waste Diversion Act 2002, and the Blue box program plan are currently under review by the MOE

Toronto supports the designation of additional materials the City manages for stewardship programs, such as:

Branded organics (diapers, paper towels)Bulky items (furniture, mattresses)All electronic wasteConstruction and demolition wasteLitter (gum, tobacco, packaging)

Contracting Out OverviewContracting Out OverviewOn February 7, 2011 the City of Toronto provided notice to the Toronto Civic Employees' Union (TCEU), Local 416, of its intention to recommend a competitive bid process for three areas of work currently carried out by TCEU members

The proposed services under consideration are:

all daytime, residential curbside collection west of Yonge Street to the Etobicoke border (approximately 165,000 homes)

an increase to City-wide litter vacuum operations (from 25% to approximately 50%)

litter /recycling collection within Toronto City parks.

In these three service areas, it is anticipated that about 300 positions would be affected

There is an Expected savings of approximately 20% ($8 M)

A detailed report will go forward to the PWI meeting in April 2011

43

Strategic PlansStrategic Plans

Key Priorities:

to achieve an overall diversion rate of 70%

to secure long term waste disposal capacity

to ensure sustainable, self-funding of operating and capital requirements for existing and new diversion programs
