Did you know that Scarborough has the highest recycling rate in Toronto?

Najiba and Karthika worked in the Malvern community in Scarborough-Rouge Park this summer to discuss waste management strategies and help communities reach their zero waste goals.

At TEA's request, the City finally released the Air Quality Impact study for Highland Creek's sewage treatment plant. Now we know how incineration 'stacks up' against pelletization and it's not good news.

The Highland Creek Treatment Plant is the only remaining sewage incinerator in Toronto and is one of the top polluters in our city. Attend an upcoming consultation on the future of Highland Creek Treatment Plant on November 19th.

Located in Scarborough, 430 Mayfair on the Green has over 1000 residents, but it only generates one dumpster of garbage per month! This building is reducing, reusing, recycling and composting over 80% of their waste.

Every year Toronto residents put roughly 1 million tonnes of “waste” out for the city to collect. Just under half is disposed in landfill, and 53% is diverted from landfill and sent for recycling or composting in the Blue Box and Green Bin. At the Toronto Environmental Alliance, we started wondering – why is our diversion rate so low?

TTC riders along Sheppard can be forgiven for being grumpy following the latest provincial transit announcement, the last in a month long series of announcements designed to create the impression the Wynne government cares about transit.

TEA volunteers and staff went to over 130 events across Toronto in 2014!
