TEA's Waste Campaigner Emily Alfred addressed the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee about the future of curbside waste collection east of Yonge and highlighted the stark difference between Etobicoke and Scarborough's waste diversion.

TEA partnered with the City of Toronto's Solid Waste staff to host three tours of multi-residential buildings that are leading the way in waste diversion.

Mayor Tory and Toronto City Council are now halfway through their term. TEA has been monitoring the votes they cast and the decisions they made and today we’re launching a report that evaluates City Council’s first two years on four key issue areas: climate change, transportation, toxics, and waste.

Toronto is developing a Long Term Waste Plan for what to do with our city's waste over the next 30-50 years. This is an important environmental decision, and we need to push for a focus on Reducing, Reusing and Recycling our waste.

The City has launched an online survey (open until Oct. 4th) to hear public feedback on a plan to license Toronto landlords of rental apartment buildings.

The City is currently considering whether and how to license landlords and rental units in an effort to improve living conditions for the half of Torontonians who live in rental housing. This is not only an opportunity to improve living conditions, but also to address some important environmental issues.

We want to say a big THANK YOU to our Zero Waste Toronto community, including our allies, volunteers and supporters!
