1 Recycling and Solid Waste Management 2010 Report

2 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management Summary Page 1 Metro Vancouver is responsible for the planning and management of recycling and solid waste services for the region. This document provides a summary of recycling and solid waste management activities that took place in the year Zero Waste Challenge The Metro Vancouver Board adopted the Zero Waste Challenge in Following the success of activities in the initial years, in 2010, Metro Vancouver oversaw Neighbourhood Zero Waste Challenge initiatives, a communication and education campaign was launched for minimizing waste over the holidays, and other waste reduction campaigns were initiated. Metro Vancouver had a presence at several trade shows, the Vancouver Landfill Open House, on radio shows, in print and web media, in school programming, and with the business community. By the end of the year, many municipalities had implemented residential food scraps collection commingled with yard trimmings. Investigations on construction wood waste and asphalt shingles diversion capacity were ongoing. Metro Vancouver also completed a single family food scraps recycling demonstration trial for 2800 households, completed a waste composition monitoring program, and started investigating minimum requirements for recycling space allocations in multifamily and commercial buildings. In late 2010, Metro Vancouver added mattresses to the list of items that would be banned at disposal facilities as of January 1, New programs and initiatives to support the Zero Waste Challenge continue to be developed. One of the goals is to reach an overall recycling or diversion rate of 70% by the year Take-Back Programs - Extended Producer Responsibility Take-Back programs, also called Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) or product stewardship programs, are industry-managed programs designed to make industry fully responsible for management of goods throughout their life cycles. The concept of EPR is to hold producers and consumers liable for the costs of managing their products at end of life. Items that are managed through Take-Back (EPR) programs are banned from Metro Vancouver disposal facilities and are diverted before they enter Metro Vancouver s recycling and solid waste management system. However, the percentage of materials diverted from the system through Take-Back programs is dependant upon the number of materials or products targeted through the programs, how many exemptions are allowed, and, ultimately, how many consumers use the programs.

3 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management Summary Page Recycling and Solid Waste Summary In 2010, 1,676,117 tonnes of materials were recycled and diverted from disposal in Metro Vancouver. This amounts to 55% of the waste materials generated in the region. The remaining 1,399,275 tonnes of solid waste were managed at waste-to-energy or disposal facilities operated by Metro Vancouver, the City of Vancouver or private businesses. Recycling and solid waste management may be categorized into three sectors: ; Light- Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI); and Demolition, Landclearing and Construction (DLC). Garbage and recycling from single family residences are collected mostly by municipalities in dedicated vehicles. Therefore single family residential garbage and recycling percentages have a reasonably high degree of certainty. However, garbage from multifamily residences is usually mixed with garbage from ICI businesses, as they are typically collected in the same vehicles. Therefore multifamily residential garbage and recycling percentages are less certain, and should be considered approximate only. For this calendar year of 2010, the multifamily residential recycling rate was estimated to be about 15%. The following table presents recycling and solid waste quantities for each sector and Take-Back programs. Table 1: 2010 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Quantities Waste Sector Recycling Rate (%) tonnes/capita 582, ,664 40% ~0.2 (reported) Population = 1,429, , ,450 48% ~0.3 Multi (estimated) Population = 922, ,993 36,214 15% ~0.2 ICI (estimated) 510, ,353 42% DLC (reported) 306, ,730 72% Take-Back programs (reported) 130,370 1,399,275 1,676,117 55% ~0.6 Metro Vancouver s Recycling and Solid Waste Management System Metro Vancouver s integrated recycling and solid waste management system provides service to 21 member municipalities, and one Electoral Area. Waste from the City of Abbotsford, Thompson- Nicola Regional District, the Village of Cache Creek and the Village of Ashcroft is delivered to the Cache Creek Landfill, but is not tabulated in the Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Quantities.

4 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management Summary Page 3 Recycling Municipalities provide recycling services for the sector, and some parts of the Multi-family and ICI sectors. Most Multi-, ICI and DLC recyclables are managed by the private sector. Take-Back programs are also managed by the private sector. The following table presents the quantities and types of recyclables collected in Table 2: Estimated Quantities of Materials in Metro Vancouver in 2010 ICI DLC Take-Back Programs Material Type Fibre/Paper 115, ,433-1, ,910 Glass 14, ,597 71,417 Metal 23,098 10,899 10,214 7,585 51,796 Plastic 9,766 7,494-6,564 23,824 Yard Waste 171,594 66, ,346 Backyard Compost 38, ,267 Small Appliances and Electronics ,154 9,154 Lead Acid Batteries ,000 6,000 Tires ,017 12,017 Concrete , ,513 Asphalt , ,728 Gypsum 7,287 5,637 70,062-82,986 Wood Waste 464 4,358 91,722-96,544 Household Hazardous Wastes ,301 30,301 Other (bulky, wood, soil, polycoat, etc.) ,440 33,490 1, , , , , ,370 1,676,117 Waste and ICI waste disposal is handled through the regional solid waste management system. In 2010, this system consisted of seven transfer stations and three disposal facilities. The three disposal facilities were Vancouver Landfill, Cache Creek Landfill and the Waste-to-Energy Facility (Energy-from-Waste Facilities) in Burnaby. DLC waste is handled separately from the regional solid waste management system and is disposed at either a private landfill, the Vancouver Landfill or at one of several other landfills that are not under Metro Vancouver jurisdiction. In 2010, the, ICI and DLC sectors in Metro Vancouver disposed of 1,399,275 tonnes of waste to the regional system and private disposal facilities.

5 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management Summary Page 4 Diversion Trend In 2010, Metro Vancouver residents, businesses and industry achieved an overall recycling or diversion rate of 55%. Figures 1 and 2, below, show changes in the regional diversion rate from all waste sectors; and the total per capita generation, disposal and recycling rates for the region since 1994, respectively. Table 3 shows Metro Vancouver s regional waste and recycling figures.
