According to an Ontario Auditor General's 2010 Annual Report " Based on the latest information available at the time of our audit, the combined diversion rate of waste generated by the residential and industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) sectors was about 24%. "
Residential waste diversion has increased from 2004. The IC&I sectors (under provincial jurisdiction) actually worsened. B.C. and Nova Scotia both have much higher IC&I waste diversion rates. They both also have legislation prohibiting the landfilling of recycleable materials. Could it be this simple?
