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?

The City wants to hear from you on the Long Term Waste Plan this summer via an online survey that will close on July 24. You don't have to be an expert, and your opinion matters!

Toronto residents can recycle more plastic bags in the Blue Bin starting June 1st 2015. This will keep 3,500 tonnes of waste out of landfill each year.

The future of Toronto’s entire waste management system is being decided over the next 12 months.

Community groups across Toronto are a great inspiration for showing what we can achieve by working together to create a Waste Free Toronto

What should guide Toronto's waste management over the long term? Local green jobs? Health and social equity? The City wants your opinion.

NYC just adopted a Zero-Waste plan to cut waste by 90% by 2030. San Fran said they'll be there by 2020 - When can we do it Toronto? #wastefreeTO
