Introduction
With waste management issues making headlines nearly every day, strong recycling programs as a means of diverting municipal waste are vital. But, to achieve optimal waste diversion, another strategy is essential - reuse.
In Ontario's Region of Peel, an innovative three-way partnership is promoting reuse, and reaping benefits for both the environment and the community.
By 2007, Peel's Waste Management Division will operate seven Community Recycling Centres (CRCs). CRCs are unique facilities characterized by convenience and accessibility to help meet the growing waste management needs of local residents and small businesses.
The CRCs are an important component of the region's 20-year Long Term Waste Resource Management Strategy, supporting a goal of 70 percent waste diversion by 2016.
The Brampton CRC, one of four community recycling facilities currently operating in Peel, was expanded to include a novel addition to the facility.
