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!

Thanks to pressure from TEA and our supporters, Toronto has agreed to tackle organic waste first, promote a sharing economy, and improve collection services to keep valuable materials out of our landfill. Toronto's new Waste Strategy will help get us on the path to zero waste.

Inspired by the amazing zero waste success story of 430 Mayfair on the Green, Mayor Tory and Toronto's Solid Waste department just launched the Towering Challenge, a friendly challenge to all other multi-residential buildings in Toronto to get creative to reduce waste.

We’re highlighting community groups and initiatives that are showing how Toronto can get to zero waste. Find out how Not Far From The Tree is part of a Zero Waste Toronto.
