Zero Waste Blog: This is what recycling looks like in Vancouver
http://zerowastevancouver.blogspot.com/2013/10/this-is-what-recycling-looks-like-in.html
Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Monday, October 14, 2013. This is what recycling looks like in Vancouver. What is this all about? One visitor to the blog recognized the plant in this video clip. S/he pointed out that this plant is not sorting materials collected in the City of Vancouver. The recycling plant pictured here sorts materials from the growing number of cities in our region (and across North America) that offer single stream recycling. Are never going to be convinc...

Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. And by the way. We'll be there tomorrow when the Metro Waste Committee holds its monthly meeting (12 - 4 pm, second floor Boardroom 4330 Kingsway). We'll be holding signs that remind them that not everyone out there supports the idea of spending half a billion dollars on incinerators. The fact is, we're beginning to get organized. Zero Waste has spread beyond Vancouver. to BC. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). At live...

Zero Waste Blog: October 2011

Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Monday, October 10, 2011. Let's give our recyclers resources instead of garbage. Last week I joined a small group of Port Moody citizens on a tour of Emterra, a local company that sorts the materials collected in single-stream" recycling programs. It was a very sad experience. The people at Emterra were really nice. They answered all our questions. But I think they've been dealt an impossible hand. Where is the fix? The most successful recycli...

Zero Waste Blog: October 2012
http://zerowastevancouver.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Good reporting by Jeff Nagel. Hats off to Jeff Nagel of Black Press who continues to dog Metro Vancouver's waste activities, including this embarrassing disclosure. That the new operator of the Burnaby incinerator (Covanta) let cadmium levels go way up and never bothered to report them to Metro Vancouver. I wonder if any cadmium got in the carrots in my backyard. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. Instead, an organization...

Zero Waste Blog: MMBC says it won't burn - but Metro Vancouver will be lobbying the province to force them to
http://zerowastevancouver.blogspot.com/2014/04/mmbc-says-it-wont-burn-but-metro.html
Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Thursday, April 24, 2014. MMBC says it won't burn - but Metro Vancouver will be lobbying the province to force them to. Today I sat in on a meeting of the Sunshine Coast Regional District Board where MMBC's Allen Langdon was briefing the politicians about the new stewardship program for PPP (packaging and printed paper) which will be rolling out in 24 days. This was the allegation made by a well-known, award-winning local recyc. Section 3....

Zero Waste Blog: September 2012
http://zerowastevancouver.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Dual stream not a solution. I'm already hearing people say we can solve the PackagingAndPrintedPaper problem by collecting paper one week and packaging the next. This is what they do in Ottawa. The rationale for this pickup schedule is that it keeps the materials separate, while also maintaining some sort of economies of scale by making use of the same fleet of trucks. Monday, September 17, 2012. Gives right of fir...

Zero Waste Blog: Will China drive FAKE RECYCLING off the rails? & Should waste haulers set public policy?
http://zerowastevancouver.blogspot.com/2013/05/will-china-drive-fake-recycling-off.html
Citizens taking action Vancouver, Lower Mainland, and beyond. Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Will China drive FAKE RECYCLING off the rails? Should waste haulers set public policy? Two important stories broke in the Vancouver Sun today. First, we learned that China is blocking the flow of poor quality plastics. In the same edition of the Vancouver Sun, a group calling itself the Waste Management Association of BC. Now, these guys are the self-same companies that can't keep our plastics clean enough to sell to Ch...
