Urban Garbage: Landfill or Recycle?

As landfills continue to close, recycling is becoming a higher priority in urban locations around the world. This program explains how Toronto and Halifax are transitioning from a landfill-oriented strategy to multistage recycling that begins in the home. Footage of a glass/metal/plastic recycling plant, a large-scale composting facility, and a paint reclamation center illustrates how these cities are succeeding in diverting biodegradable and hazardous waste from the garbage stream and recycling them into marketable materials. Related social, political, economic, and other issues are addressed as well. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. (14 minutes)
