A Toronto environmental group thinks the city should start all over again in its search for a way to deal with the two million tonnes of garbage it must handle each year.

The Toronto Environmental Alliance condemned a list of business proposals for dealing with the city's garbage yesterday. "It's a cancer and pollution list," said Shelley Petrie of the Toronto Environment Alliance at a city hall press conference.

The alliance wants the city's works committee to reject the list when city staff report on it at a meeting tomorrow and to ask them to re-examine the problem from scratch.
