FACT

The Curotto Can Automated Front Loader is the safest collection system!

Arm-Forward Advantage

First, arm-forward means “eyes-always-forward�.

The operator is always looking forward which reduces the chances of leaving the arm accidentally extended and crashing into parked cars or other obstacles. Also, because the operator does not have to continually swivel his head to look back at the cart pickup then at the hopper monitor, as with an ASL, neck strain is reduced to a minimum and workmans comp costs due to neck strain zero out. Secondly, because the operator sees the cart dump, they can see and remove contamination before packing. Haulers can lower their contamination rate to between 4%-6%.

New ballistic separator hits North America

T

he new MACH Ballistic separator from the Machinex Group is designed for sorting 2D material (plastic film, paper, cardboard and fibers) from 3D material (containers, plastic bottles, cans, stone wood, etc.), the company says.

The 2D material travels up the slope in a forward direction with the paddles, while the 3D material bounces or rolls downward. Quebec-based Machinex says fine particles can be collected separately with the optional variable screen openings, effectively handling singlestream municipal solid waste and commercial and industrial waste.

During the summer of 2012, the first MACH Ballistic separators were installed at Récupération Frontenac, located in Quebec. Since then, Machinex installed these ballistic separators at Randy’s Sanitation (MN) as well as at Broome Recycling in New York.

The new MACH Ballistic separator.

Bert Adams, Broome Recycling president, says “Ever since the beginning of the project, we were very concerned about the screening quality, especially for the paper material. I can testify that since the installation of the Machinex Ballistic separator, we noticed an upgrade in the paper quality. We believe that this machine is built to last. It has fewer mobile parts, which will require less maintenance and provide further long-term durability.”

In the early 1980s, Machinex became the first company in Canada to design machinery for material recycling facilities. Machinex has designed and installed over 250 turn-key facilities in partnership with leading MRFs in Canada, the United States and Europe.

“HARD HAT” MEDIA TOUR

O

Jim Delaney, Resident Construction Manager, takes media on a tour of the Durham York Energy Centre site on October 24, 2012.

n October 24 a “hard hat” media tour was conducted at the site in Durham, Ontario of the soon-to-be-built Durham York Energy Centre, being constructed by Covanta Energy.

Media learned that, once up and running, the facility will process up to 140,000 tonnes of post-recycled waste per year and generate enough renewable electricity to power between 12,000 and 14,000 homes. The facility will be the cleanest and most efficient facility of

its kind in North America, the company says, and will create nearly 700 direct and indirect jobs during construction, and more than 40 permanent plant operator jobs when the facility comes online late 2014. It will also help Durham Region achieve its waste diversion target of 70 per cent.

Waste Management opens mega-MRF

Brad Muter, Area Vice-President for Eastern Canada at Waste Management, along with Gary Goodyear, federal Minister of State for Science & Technology, and Doug Craig, Mayor of Cambridge, kick-off the official opening of the largest licensed private-sector recycling facility in Ontario with a ceremonial blue-box tipping. The Cambridge facility employs a state-of-the-art single-stream recycling process, with a focus on waste diversion from businesses.

A

new 126,000-square-foot plant in Cambridge is now the biggest licensed private-sector recycling facility in Ontario, Waste Management Canada has announced. An attempt to increase the waste diversion rate of businesses, which often fall well below residential rates, Waste Management officials say they are using an improved recycling process to support Ontario’s landfill diversion goals and extracts more value

from the waste coming into the plant. The new plant will utilize a paper magnet, optical sorter, electro-magnetic technology and various screen sorters. The facility is expected to process up to 550,000 tonnes of material per year from southwestern Ontario .

COVER STORY

by Clarissa Morawski & Dan Lantz “Single-stream programs even show a $13 per tonne lower average basket of goods revenues.”

Report reveals the true costs of single-stream recycling

”Reality Cheque” S

ingle-stream recycling, now entering its second decade in Canada, seems to be gaining momentum. More and more municipalities are looking to single-stream recycling for its promise as a low cost, high-diversion solution to their waste diversion goals.

But should they?

In this, they’re being influenced by our neighbours to the south who are introducing single-stream programs at a rapid rate, rather than the European diversion leaders who tend to stay away from single-stream collection.

Earlier this year, a new report from the UK’s 4R Environmental Ltd. entitled Procurement Outcomes for Waste Collection Systems in the UK Market April 2008-February 2012 analyzed the results of more than 65 recycling collection tenders between 2008 and 2012. The report identifies that of the 65 tenders, 51 per cent of all procurement for recycling collection services resulted in curbside sort, with 28 per cent awarded to single-stream co-mingling and 21 per cent to two-stream (dual) systems.

However (notably), 29 request for bids did not prescribe the type of collection system, but left it open to the competitive marketplace.

Interestingly, in those situations 90 per cent (26 of 29) of the winning bids offered curbside sort or two-stream collection, while only 10 per cent, (3 of 29) offered single-stream collection.

Commenting on the findings, Andy Bond (author of the report), said, “Senior managers at local authorities who are considering their procure-

ment options might be surprised by these findings and that they will almost certainly benefit from allowing the most open procurement system rather than prescribing this at the outset.”

SINGLE STREAM A LOW COST? For the past six years, the largest Ontario-based single-stream and twostream recycling programs have been closely analysed. During this time, single-stream has always been more expensive, and this year is no different.

The analysis includes only curbside collection and processing costs, subtracting total revenues for the program. When you include “extraneous costs” associated with operating depots, transferring and administration, the cost differential between the two collection systems is more pronounced: single-stream costs 60 per cent more than two-stream collection.

(Note: 2011 data comparison includes Halton Region as one of the four single-stream programs; the same four two-stream systems as used historically; costs are from the annual Waste Diversion Ontario datacall.)

After accounting for approximately two per cent inflation per year, overall, the average program net cost for single-stream has increased by $1.67 (1.1 per cent) per tonne or $3.66 (12.8 per cent) per household.

(See Table 1.)

COVER STORY

“Comparing all costs including collection, processing and administration, the cost of singlestream recycling is approximately 22 per cent to 26.5 per cent higher than two-stream programs.”

2011, while two-stream programs captured approximately 191 kg/hh (6.3 per cent less). But the data show two municipalities with a substantial decrease in recovered quantities per household. By removing these outliers, the data shows that two-stream programs recovered about 10 kg/hh more than single-stream. (See Table 5 for a comparison of quantities recovered.)

It’s worth noting that single-stream programs capture approximately 22 kg/hh more newspaper than two-stream programs. This is not unreasonable to expect considering the size and number of newspapers available in these programs. But one must bear in mind that quantities

recovered per household does not provide information on actual recovery rates. For that, quantities generated would have to be made available.

Therefore, no real conclusions can be drawn from available data that one type of program is better than the other for newsprint.

The list of materials managed is not identical in all municipalities but, for the most part, matches up reasonably well, i.e., does not favour single-stream or two-stream programs.

The mounting evidence against mixing all recyclables together is compelling. Consequently, some municipalities have decided not to make the shift to single-stream.

EXAMPLES Ottawa, as an example, operates a two-stream collection system. Faced with the possibility of converting to single-stream, the city conducted a public survey to see what residents would prefer. The community supported maintaining the existing system, which collects containers and fibres separately on alternating weeks. By maintaining the separate collection system and reducing garbage collection to once every two weeks, the city is expected to save taxpayers $9 million annually over the next six years, and will preserve the life of its landfill.

In 2006, the City of London, Ontario undertook a comprehensive review of their recycling system, with key goals being to reduce program cost, increase the capture of recyclable materials and add new materials.

London had a two-stream system where fibres are kept separate from containers. The analysis concluded that a two-stream collection sys-

tem would be the most appropriate for London compared with singlestream collection, as it would reduce processing costs, produce better quality material for final markets, capture more recyclables (i.e., less recyclables going to residue or mixed with the end product) and have minimal impacts on collection. Limited to zero savings were expected from single- stream collection as the city expected to continue to have a dedicated blue box collection vehicle and not co-collect recyclables with garbage or source-separated organics.

The new state-of-art two-stream MRF has been operating for 15 months. The program has reduced London’s processing costs by about 10 per cent and, on average, the price paid for recyclables from London exceeds the StewardEdge Composite Price by 15 per cent per tonne.

ever-more pronounced premium paid for single-stream comes without any real diversion benefits, or revenue benefits. Looking at Toronto’s latest processing tender results shows single-stream recycling is about to substantially increase this disparity even more. With an ever-increasing list of materials to be managed in the future, it’s easy to see that singlestream approaches will not control costs compared to two-stream.

Separation of fibres and containers from a single, mixed stream of materials is reasonably possible. However, add in flexible packaging, and the task becomes more than challenging. Flexibles (e.g., pouches, films, etc.) act similar in air to single sheets of fibre and create operational challenges when using rotating screens (which are commonly used in single-stream to separate fibres from containers). In two-stream programs, the flexibles could be added to the container stream and removed with a combination of trommels and air, leaving the rigids to be processed with magnets, eddy currents and optical sorters.

Consider the changing fibre stream and the dramatic decrease in newspaper in the mix (less than half what was generated just ten years ago). Less and less processing of fibres will be necessary in future.

MRFs will simply remove OCC using an inexpensive OCC screen and

bale the rest. (The last City of Toronto and Region of Durham RFPs required only OCC and mixed paper to be generated. ONP is no longer a recognized marketable commodity.)

So why “force” the sorting of 100 per cent of the recyclables, when only the container stream now requires any significant infrastructure? A recycling system where fibres and containers are separated at the curb means much less overall infrastructure and, ultimately, much lower overall costs. Alternating weekly collection of fibres and containers or split carts (for those looking for cart collection) can ensure collection costs are on par with single-stream.

Lower costs, similar diversion, much more flexibility to add more materials in a more cost effective manner...

Going single stream? Cheque please!

COLLECTION

by Mike Birett “The time translates into a projected savings of over $858,000/yr across the province.”

Waste Box Indicators Optimizing rural collection in the Town of Blue Mountain

Waste box indicators tell collection crews whether the resident has added new materials to the container for pick-up.

O

ntario’s Continuous Improvement Fund has funded over 450 projects ranging from million dollar MRF retrofits through to province-wide optimization studies. While many of these projects have long-term benefits, sometimes the brightest ideas are the simplest. In February, 2011 the CIF approved $4,000 in funding for the Town of Blue Mountain to a test of a “waste box” indicator.

Like many rural and cottage country areas, nearly half of Blue Mountain’s residences are occupied seasonally. And like many such areas, garbage and recyclables are stored at the roadside in animal proofbins or “waste boxes.” While convenient for keeping waste safe from animals and reducing litter, waste bins impair collection efficiency by forcing the driver to stop at each box only to find that, in many cases, the resident has not been at the residence to set out any waste or recyclables.

That box check typically adds several seconds to each stop. With typical two-stream recyclable stops averaging 20-22 seconds, that can amount to a 10-15 per cent increase in stop times.

Blue Mountain’s challenge was to find a way to eliminate unnecessary stops at empty boxes. So with CIF funding, the town selected 254 households and tested the effectiveness of using a small indicator sign attached to the resident’s box in the year between July 2011 and July 2012. Staff installed the indicators at each residence. The indicators were affixed to the inside of the waste box by a screw, connected to a chain. Residents were instructed to place the sign(s) outside of the waste box when leaving recycling and/or garbage for collection. Collection staff then simply flipped the sign(s) back into the waste box after picking up. Two indicator signs — one for recycling and one for garbage — were utilized.

108 residents participated in a follow-up survey conducted by town staff: • 69 per cent identified themselves as part time residents; • 94 per cent are satisfied with the program and will continue to use the indicators;

16 www.solidwastemag.com December 2012/January 2013

swr d12-j13 collection pg 16-17.indd 16

12-12-10 10:57 AM

Typical rural collection bins.

• 83 per cent feel that the program should be made available to everyone in the town; • 37 per cent are more inclined to place recyclables in the waste collection box due to the indicator program; • Thirty-five participants experienced a decrease in missed collection events during the pilot program, compared the previous six months of collection service.

Collection crews had similar positive feedback, noting: • Approximately 90 per cent of residents utilize the indicators; • The indicators are visible from the road and easy to handle; • A fully implemented program would improve collection efficiency; • The program will allow residents to lock their box when they are not using them, cutting down on illegal dumping of garbage in unused waste boxes.

Blue Mountain is now considering implementing the concept town-wide.

So, is the idea new or novel? If you talk to any rural route driver, they’ll tell you they often shove a stick under the lid of boxes that are used infrequently. If the stick’s still there next week, the resident hasn’t placed anything in the bin.

But consider this: almost three per cent of Ontario’s residences are estimated as seasonal in nature. If stops at those locations could be eliminated six months of the year at an estimated 8-10 seconds per stop (representing the time required to stop a truck and look in an empty box), that translates into almost 9,900 hrs/yr. At a fully burdened cost of $87/hr for a driver and side-loader, that time translates into a projected savings of over $858,000/yr across the province.

Whether it’s a stick, a sign or a better practice, it’s worth talking to drivers and paying attention to the little things they do every day to save time.

S

tarting in 2006, armed with a business plan and an apprehension that leadership in policy change will prevail in British Columbia, the eponymous technology company Cedar Road Bioenergy Inc. undertook to utilize biogas energy that was being flared at a Nanaimo Landfill on Cedar Road. Over the last six years, the company has quietly been implementing and innovating a modular platform that produces clean renewable energy commercially from smaller biogas host installations.

The success of the newly-named Nanaimo Bioenergy Centre is the result resulted of a willingness of the partners and stakeholders to embrace and manage policy, plus financial and innovation risk. In 2008 the establishment of the BC Hydro Standing Offer Program positioned Cedar Road to complete a 1.3 MW Phase One, biogas-to-electricity facility. A capital investment of 3.8 million dollars was facilitated by predictable cashflow, itself enabled by long-term power purchase predictability.

2011 saw the start of a $2.5 million dollar capital investment in Phase Two, which extends the vision to reach stated commercial biogas utilization objectives through new innovation and the expansion of the mandate of the centre. The implementation of Phase Two is supported and made possible by $1 million in funding from British Columbia’s Innovative Clean Energy Fund (ICE).

“Biogas solutions are commercially viable options for reaching renewable energy base load production,” says Paul Liddy, Managing Director of Cedar Road Bioenergy. “Facilitating this ability to innovate in renewable energy is positioning BC as a world leader in biogas utilization.

“We are very excited to continue to build on this concept and to show the world that biogas capturing is a proven and viable model for small to midsize landfill systems.”

With acknowledgement and thanks to all the partners, stakeholders and community in the Regional District of Nanaimo, an official opening and ribbon cutting took place on October 18, 2012.

Cedar Road Bioenergy is owner and operator of the Nanaimo Bioenergy Centre, and is a member company of the Suncurrent Group (www.suncurrent.ca), a Canadian private business which has been implementing renewable energy projects since 1981.

means of collecting waste, recyclables and even organics. The key to the superior performance of the Molok® deep collection system is the cylindrical, underground design, which allows for more storage capacity within less space; compaction from the natural force of gravity; and fewer odours from lower temperatures underground.

The result is that Molok® containers need to be emptied less often, reducing truck traffic and lowering emissions.

CLEANTECH: WASTE-TO-FUEL

by John Nicholson “Approximately 18 companies across Canada manufactures pellets or briquettes from waste feedstock.”

The Art of Briquetting Solid fuel from waste

(Inset above) Emispec feedstock.

(Inset left) Emispec fuel pellets.

In Quebec, Emispec, in collaboration with Therméal, has collaborated on a small-scale fuel production process that produces solid fuel from waxed cardboard boxes and other biomass. Photo shows the company’s Pyro-Blok press.

A

lthough it may be considered novel in Canada, the use of solid fuel from waste is common in a number of places around the world, particularly in Scandinavian countries.

The growing focus on solid fuel from waste is mainly driven by a number of factors, including the move away from landfilling of waste and the potential rising costs of conventional fuels. Turning waste into a valuable heating source is something any company should at least want to investigate.

The majority of waste for solid fuel had been wood-based residue from the forestry industry (i.e., sawdust and wood chips) but the sources can include agricultural residues, industrial waste, and municipal solid waste. An ideal feedstock is relatively dry, has high energy value, appropriate particle size (i.e., no bulky material), and has no potentially toxic pollutants (e.g., heavy metals).

Three major technologies are used to convert waste to solid fuel: pelletizing, briquetting and pyrolysis.

Pelletizing and briquetting both consist of compressing material through the application of high pressure. The briquetting process typically requires less pre-processing (grinding or drying) than pelletizing.

Depending on the feedstock, pelletizing may require a binding agent.

Pyrolysis involves the application of heat in the absence of oxygen to produce solid carbon residue or charcoal. Depending on the temperature used to heat the feedstock material, synthetic gas and bio-oil can also be produced.

Challenges and companies One of the major challenges facing companies that convert waste into solid fuel is the environmental laws in some provinces. For example, under Ontario’s environmental regulation solid fuel made from waste is still considered a waste; anyone wanting to burn it would need to obtain an Environmental Compliance Approval. Regulatory changes are required to unleash the full potential of utilizing solid fuel from waste.

Another challenge for solid fuel from waste companies is the competition from conventional heating methods. The profitability of selling solid fuel from waste hinges on the price of conventional fuels used for heating (oil and natural gas). The recent recession saw lower prices for oil, and natural gas prices have been low for the past few years.

A successful company in the solid fuel from waste business is one December 2012/January 2013 www.solidwastemag.com 37

that can at least break even processing the waste and make its profits on sales. Getting paid for the waste prior to processing it into solid fuel should be part of any business model.

Approximately 18 companies across Canada manufactures pellets or briquettes from waste feedstock. The growing number of manufacturers is a strong indication that solid fuel from waste is a potentially profitable venture.

In Nova Scotia, CCI Group Inc. manufactures wood pellets and fire logs from sawmill waste, and “agropellets” from oat residue. CCI Group distributes its solid fuel products throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.

In Quebec, Emispec, in collaboration with Therméal, has collaborated on a small-scale fuel production process that produces solid fuel from waxed cardboard boxes and other biomass. Waxed cardboard boxes are typically used to transport fresh produce and are not suitable for recycling. The 300 kg per hour production plant can produce solid fuel pellets that have an energy value 15 per cent higher than wood pellets.

In Ontario, Canadian Biofuels Inc. opened its wood pellet plant in

March of 2012. The feedstock for the facility comes from wood waste generated by communities across southwestern Ontario. The annual production capacity of the facility is 22,000 tonnes. Plans are in the works to expand the facility and use agricultural feedstock in the future.

In British Columbia, Briquetting Systems Inc. (BSI) is the Canadian distributor of briquetting machines manufactured by Denmark-based CF Nielsen and Holzmag. One BSI niche line of business is the provision of hydro-cyclone briquette machines to industries that generates high quantities of dust (such as paper mills and saw mills). In the case of the Oregon Catholic Press, a major publisher location in Portland, installation and operation of a hydro-cyclone briquetting system created a profit centre (sale of briquettes for heating) from a cost centre (baghouse operation and dust disposal), saving the company $25,000 per year in waste disposal fees alone.

New Standards and Guidelines Thoughts on Ontario’s new compost rules

I

t was not with mixed emotions that I received my copies of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment’s new composting standards and guideline.

Now I know it seems odd to get excited over some rather mundane and technical text, but the finished document represented the final chapter of 20 years of composting evolution in the province.

About as old as Abraham but with diminished wisdom, the Interim Guidelines for the Production of Aerobic Compost came into being in 1991 when the composting industry was in its infancy in Canada. I remember those days well. Maybe it was the vagaries of youth but there was palpable excitement that composting was a positive solution that could deliver significant results.

It’s obviously not the standards and guidelines that make composting happen; it’s the people, and their energy (and their significant investments) that has taken the organic waste processing industry from what was then mostly windrow composting facilities sprouting up, to the sophisticated in-vessel facilities with smoke (steam really) stacks that we see today.

The key changes are found in the Ontario compost quality standards document.

There are now three categories of compost quality: AA, A and B. The AA compost is essentially the same as the previous unrestricted use compost. As with that compost, it can contain no sewage biosolids. This was implicit in the Interim Guidelines because most Ontario sewage biosolids could not meet feedstock-allowable metal concentrations, which were the same as the final productallowable metal concentrations. This is explicitly stated in the new standards.

The Category A and B compost designations are similar to the CCME Category A compost. It opens up the door to the composting of sewage biosolids by relaxing the concentrations for metal in feedstock.

Other notable changes from the Interim Guidelines include: a minimum curing period of 21 days; stronger requirements for proof of pathogen reduction for all wastes except leaf-and-yard waste (i.e., time, temperature and pathogen testing); more stringent foreign matter requirements; and, more detailed labeling requirements.

The standards essentially bring Ontario in line with the CCME Guidelines for Compost Quality with some Ontario-specific tweaks, including the aforementioned AA super compost.

The Guideline for the Production of Compost in Ontario was designed to provide guidance for a number of stakeholders: those seeking entrance to the composting industry, those already in it, and environment ministry staff (from approvals personnel to abatement officers).

It’s expected that the ministry will incorporate parts of these guidelines into environmental compliance approvals and use them as a tool when inspecting composting facilities.

Overall the industry appears pleased with the arrival of the Interim Guidelines and the standards. Existing facilities can immediately take advantage of the new compost categories, but they will need to ensure that the new metal concentrations, feedstock quality and pathogen requirements are met.

There is some general nervousness about being able to achieve the new foreign matter and maturity requirements, mostly because they were overly December 2012/January 2013 www.solidwastemag.com 41

broad and loose in the Interim Guidelines but are now much more prescriptive. There’s some breathing room for the industry, however, as the foreign matter and maturity requirements in current ECAs will stay in place until July 1, 2015, at which time the new standards will apply.

While the new standards and guidelines took a long time to arrive, the process has served a useful purpose. It has allowed various stakeholders to meet and create a consensus. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the Composting Council of Canada (CCC), the Municipal Waste Association (MWA), the Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) and the Regional Public Works Commissioners of Ontario (RPWCO) were invited by the ministry to provide detailed comments on these documents prior to their release.

In the intervening years, Ontario’s (and Canada’s) composting indus-

try has grown with great strides. Ontario has the most capacity, by far, of SSO and leaf-and-yard waste composting capacity in the country. In 1998, just over 500,000 tonnes/year of was treated; today, it’s about 1.2 million tonnes.

Standards and guidelines do not necessarily stimulate new investment in infrastructure. They provide a framework and the “rules of engagement.” They send a signal that large-scale composting is a viable method of dealing with a significant part of the waste stream. The next step is to broaden this framework and develop standards and guidelines for anaerobic digestion.

by Diane Blackburn “Toronto experienced what might have been its first major garbage strike.”

Environmental Spirit Doreen Friesen receives an award that commemorates recycling pioneer Jack McGinnis

Doreen Friesen was a young nurse working the night shift at Sunnybrook Hospital in the 1970s when Toronto experienced what might have been its first major garbage strike.

T

he Environmental Spirit Award was conceived in 2008 as a special recognition tribute to an individual who, with nothing more than a passion for recycling and a determined attitude, could make change happen and influence the behaviour of others. It represented what was best in people who could rise to the occasion with few, if any, resources.

The passing of Jack McGinnis (1947-2011) in 2011 gave RCO the perfect opportunity to honour this recycling pioneer by prefacing this special award with his name.

Jack McGinnis was a giant in the early years of recycling. He was an RCO founder and served on the board of directors in the organization’s early years. MyGinnis was also instrumental in the birth of Durham Sustain Ability.

Born in Cleveland in January 1947, McGinnis left his American home and immigrated to Canada during the Vietnam era, as his per-

sonal beliefs ran contrary to the war politics of that time. He was a progressive, a “big thinker,” whose thoughts focused on waste and how to reduce it through recycling. And we are all the better off for his tireless work in developing recycling programs at home and across borders.

McGinnis has been called the father of the blue box (in 1977).

And so, at the RCO’s 2012 Ontario Waste Minimization Awards gala, the RCO had the privilege of welcoming to the podium a contemporary of McGinnis, even though they never met during those early years of recycling fervor.

Doreen Friesen was a young nurse working the night shift at Sunnybrook Hospital in the 1970s when Toronto experienced what might have been its first major garbage strike. She and her friend Joan Folkins decided that the mountains of accumulating garbage were simply not acceptable and while they couldn’t stop the strike, they could December 2012/January 2013 www.solidwastemag.com 43

Friesen and her friend Joan Folkins decided that the mountains of accumulating garbage were simply not acceptable.

launch a plan to reduce household generated waste at the source. They saw newspaper, tin cans and bottles as the obvious items to target for their recycling revolution.

Friesen and Folkins applied for, and received funding from, the federal government under the Local Improvement Program. They petitioned then-Mayor of Toronto David Crombie and convinced him to commission six large bins for drop off points they identified as key to the neighbourhood. They distributed flyers across the City of Toronto and set up a collection schedule for neighbourhoods with the option for drop-off at the two bin locations, Eglinton/Bayview and Avenue Road/ Lawrence.

The women, thinking ahead, already had buyers lined up for the collected items.

Pollution solution People gravitated to this new concept of recycling. “Pollution solution” as it was initially called was successful, and it grew. In fact it grew so

well that within five months of the program rolling out, the city picked it up and made it part of its future waste strategy.

And so, in the current climate of stewardship, sustainability and respect for the planet, the Recycling Council of Ontario honoured Doreen Friesen for her pioneering spirit. Sadly, Doreen lost her friend Folkins this year but the Jack McGinnis Environmental Spirit Award serves to honour both of these feisty women who saw a need and rolled up their sleeves to make it happen. Somewhere, Jack McGinnis is smiling.

Volume of recycled milk cartons triples Environment

Over 15 Million milk empties recycled at Return-It Depots in 2011 British Columbians get top marks for their milk carton recycling efforts as over 15 million milk containers were returned to participating Return-It Depots last year.

“The volume of milk containers returned to participating Return-It Depots has tripled since 2006.” says Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.

No deposit = no refund This image is a simulation

Last year, 15 million milk jugs and cartons were recycled by British Columbians. If you were to stand them upright and side by side, they would reach from Vancouver to Prince George – and back!

(More than 1500 kilometers.)

And did you know:

“The volume of milk containers returned to Return-It Depots has tripled since 2006.”

– Mike Dick, president of the BC Dairy Council.

“The amount of cartons and jugs that we have saved from landfills is quite significant,” says Dick. “It is hard to visualize the amount, but if you were to align 15 million jugs and cartons upright and side-by-side, the distance would cover from Vancouver to Prince George – and back. That’s over 1,500 kilometers!”

Over the past five years, the volume of milk containers returned to participating Return-It Depots has tripled.

Last year’s total volume returned: 630,000 kilograms.

There’s no refund on milk empties (because you didn’t pay a deposit), but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you are doing the right thing. Plastic jugs are the most popular form of packaging for milk in BC, polycoat milk cartons are also commonly used.

Although polycoat cartons are not usually accepted through curbside bluebox programs, milk carton recycling is offered at 166 participating Return-It Depots across the province.

All milk, cream, and milk substitute (soy, almond and rice) beverage containers are recyclable and accepted.

In the Bag

A legal perspective on Toronto’s plastic shopping bag ban

S

everal months ago, the City of Toronto announced its decision to ban plastic shopping bags, commencing January 1, 2013. The decision by city council was a reaction to Mayor Rob Ford’s opposition to the five cent mandatory plastic bag fee that consumers have been paying when they receive a plastic bag for merchandise. As one would expect, support and opposition for the ban came from different quarters and in different forms. However, two organizations took their opposition to a higher level: they decided that the courts should intervene and determine whether Toronto’s decision to ban plastic bags can withstand a legal challenge.

City council has now reversed its decision to ban plastic bags, but some councillors are suggesting they want to bring this issue forward again next year for consideration. Had the ban proceeded, it would have been enacted by way of by-law and would have prohibited all Toronto retail stores from providing customers with single-use plastic carry-out shopping bags, including those advertised as compostable, bio-degradable, photo-degradable or similar. Although the ultimate fate of the pro-

posed ban in Toronto remains uncertain at this time, it’s interesting to analyze the basis for the legal challenges that were commenced.

The Ontario Convenience Stores Association (OCSA) brought an application in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against Toronto, seeking a declaration that either the decision by the city to ban plastic bags, or the bylaw that will be enacted in relation to that decision, was of no legal force and effect.

Legal arguments advanced The OCSA argued that the resolution made by Toronto falls outside the city’s jurisdiction under the legislation that governs its activities (namely, the City of Toronto Act, 2006). The association argued that the resolution passed by city council was approved without a proper consultation process and therefore violates the common law duties of natural justice and procedural fairness that apply when making such decisions.

The OCSA further argued that the resolution to ban plastic bags is vague and therefore violates Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of

Rights and Freedoms. The association advanced several other arguments, including that the ban constitutes a violation of the Canadian Bill of Rights, that the resolution is contrary to Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act, and that the resolution was made for an improper purpose and constitutes an improper exercise of administrative discretion.

In support of its legal arguments, the OCSA made reference to the fact that the industry consultation process was not undertaken prior to drafting of the by-law, but rather was to be conducted after the resolution was made, and in parallel to drafting of the by-law that was to reflect the resolution. The association argued that such a process cannot be said to be true consultation (since consultation should precede a resolution and occur well before drafting of a by-law).

The association claimed that the draft by-law defined “single use plastic carry out (shopping) bags” in what it called an “arbitrary and discriminatory manner” by excluding bags used in the grocery, “big box,” bakery, laundry/dry-cleaning, newspaper, pharmacy and other sectors.

The association argued that singling out of the convenience store sector would directly or indirectly assist a number of competing commercial enterprises.

The CPBA also started a legal proceeding in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the City of Toronto. It argued that the plastic bag ban was unlawful and that the resolution was passed in bad faith. The CPBA argued that city council had not received any advice, evidence, or

opinion from staff or other persons indicating that the ban would further the economic, social or environmental well-being of the city, or protect the health, safety and well-being of any person.

The CPBA argued that its members have a substantial economic interest in the manufacture, supply, distribution, and sale of plastic bags in Toronto and would be significantly impacted by the ban.

Legal authority of municipalities These two court challenges to the proposed by-law banning plastic bags are interesting from a legal perspective for two reasons. The first is that, if they proceed, the court will have an opportunity to assess the discretion afforded to city councils to enact legislation that purportedly furthers environmental objectives. Specifically, the court will need to consider the nature and strength of the evidence required for a municipality to enact such a by-law. The second reason is that the court will also consider the jurisdiction given to municipalities, and whether they have the authority to implement measures such as this one.

It will be interesting to see whether the city chooses to proceed with the ban and whether a court will ultimately decide whether municipalities have the authority to make these types of decisions.

by Usman Valiante “Ontario’s program uses an outcome-based approach rather than prescriptive requirements.”

An Outcomes-Based Approach to EPR Ontario’s new EPA regulation for pharmaceutical waste and sharps

O

n October 1, 2012, Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment brought into force a seemingly innocuous regulation entitled, “Collection of Pharmaceuticals and Sharps — Responsibilities of Producers.”

Belied by its title, the regulation, made under a 40-year-old environmental statute, takes Ontario on a path sharply away from the approach to waste diversion that has been the default for a decade under the Waste Diversion Act, 2002 (WDA).

The regulation assigns end-of-life re­ sponsibility for waste pharmaceuticals and sharps to individual producers of pharmaceuticals and sharps (i.e., manufacturers, brand owners or importers).

In discharging their responsibilities, producers may choose to establish and operate such a system on their own or, “… in conjunction with other producers, or to engage one or more service providers for this purpose.”

Producers are required to utilize service providers who themselves are subject to existing provisions of the EPA that require environmental compliance approvals for the operation of waste management systems (specific to the collection and proper endof-life management of the specific wastes in question).

In addition, the ministry is requiring minimum collection coverage (to ensure collections from the 3,000 or so retail pharmacy locations with residentially-generated returns of waste pharmaceuticals and sharps). Also required are proper handling and management standards and annual reporting to the ministry regarding collection performance.

Unlike the EPR approach taken by many Canadian EPR jurisdictions (notably Ontario under its own WDA and British Columbia under the Recycling Regulation of its Environmental Management Act), the Ontario waste pharmaceuticals and sharps regulation does not require producers to file “stewardship plans.” In eliminating this requirement, the ministry won’t approve the approach by which producers discharge their obligations; it will not, therefore, implicate itself in producer decisions.

Furthermore, and unlike the WDA, the regulation does not require the government to delve into how producers finance their obligations, nor does it require producers to develop methodologies for setting fees.

Instead, commercial arrangements are left to producers and service providers to negotiate amongst themselves, through conventional freemarket transactions.

In taking an EPA-based approach, the ministry has noted that, “[t]he

proposed regulation sees the government setting the policy outcomes that producers must achieve while allowing producers the flexibility to determine how best to meet the outcomes.”

This outcomes-based approach to EPR is an emerging best practice: it fully embraces the idea of EPR as a market-driven activity.

Responsibilities are assigned to individual producers; these are discharged in market transactions between producers and service providers. The government focuses on setting standards, ensuring compliance and measuring performance.

In its 2009 review of the WDA, the environment ministry stated its intent to reform the WDA by moving to an “outcomes-based individual producer responsibility” framework with the following goals: • Making individual producers fully responsible to meet waste diversion requirements for waste discarded in both the residential and IC&I sectors; • Allowing those individual producers to meet their waste diversion requirements either by joining a materials management scheme or by developing their own individual waste diversion plan; • Requiring individual producers to annually report information on sales into the Ontario marketplace of designated products and packaging; • Requiring that any waste diversion plan must meet outcome-based requirements; • Requiring producers who fail to meet outcome-based requirements to meet prescriptive requirements (“default” option) or face penalties for non-compliance; and Regulating EPR for pharmaceutical and sharps under the Ontario’s long-established EPA environmental liability program achieves the outcomes listed above simply and expediently. Without ever having to table a bill, EPR under the EPA offers an approach that will transform waste diversion from what is currently a complicated, process-driven endeavor into an approach that delivers environmental protection simply and effectively by focusing on outcomes and not process.
