Abstract

This project began with a growing concern about the life of landfills within Algonquin Highlands Township and the amount and type of recycling that was going on by local businesses.

Information was obtained through the use of a survey conducted with 21 businesses, one service provider and several landfill attendants.

The responses by the interviewees are included in the report and suggestions to promote more diversion of materials from landfill are provided.
