which require industry to take care of the garbage it produces and have achieved a higher waste diversion rate she said yorks current target is to divert 60 per cent of trash using blue box recycling and green organics programs the diversion strategy increases that goal to 75 per cent thatis the best rate possible using current practices regional waste man agement director andy campbell said if 100 per cent of people did a 100 per cent job it could be higher but its going to take strict rules that we dont have today he said markham has achieved a 68per cent diversion rate with its green box program but other municipalities are below 40 per cent mr campbell said the regions challenge in getting a thermal treatment plant approved is to change perceptions about incineration mr campbell said

peel similar to the one proposed for york while many people envision smoke stacks billowing toxic smoke into the air he says most people in peel hardly real ize the facility is there msshapero
