Over 500 people signed our Organics First petition within days. We sent a clear message: we want organics in the Green Bin, not in our landfill.

Focusing on organics first in the new Waste Strategy will set Toronto on the path to zero waste.

Ontario is supporting the use of Renewable Natural Gas as one way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Ontario. One source can be found in our green bins.

On June 1st, the Government passed the Waste Free Ontario Act, an Act that could revolutionize resource management in Ontario --- or not.

Zero waste protects the environment, benefits communities and supports a strong local economy.

Now is the time to continue our zero waste journey, and the 6 Pillars of zero waste will help governments and businesses take the next step.

Toronto's waste diversion rate is going in the wrong direction - not only did we fail to meet our projected increase, but our diversion rate fell to 2012 levels.
