Ontario wants input on proposals to reduce waste

Banning single-use plastics, diverting food and organic waste from landfills and harmonizing blue box collections are all options the Ontario government is examining to reduce the amount of garbage heading into landfills.
A discussion paper has been posted on the Environment Registry for a 45-day period asking the public for their feedback on proposals to reduce plastic litter and waste and increase the province’s diversion rate.  Comments will be accepted until April 20.
