Director of Public Works for Review and Report
No.2 : Adopt an Igloo Sponsorship Program
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2 . 1 Over the past several months, Council has referred several items
related to recycling to me for review and report. The resolution's
are listed on Attachment No. l.
2 .2 The purpose of this report is to deal with these items and other
matters related to recycling and waste reduction.
3.0 REVIEW AND COMMENT
3 . 1 Announcement by Ruth Grier, Minister of the Environment
On November 21, 1990, Ruth Grier announced that the Province has
shelved the proposed interim garbage dumps in Pickering (Whitevale)
and Brampton and launched a search for new ways to cope with the
greater Toronto area's growing mountain of waste.
The Minister intends to establish a new authority to search for a
new disposal site or sites . The Province has assumed the
responsibility for solid waste disposal.
. . . 3
i J c
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 3
Subsequent to the Minister's announcement, the Region of Durham
eliminated the Solid Waste Management Committee and established a
new committee known as the Waste Reduction Committee. The Region
also terminated all work on the Whitevale interim site and the
Durham Region Waste Management Plan.
3.2 Where Metro's Waste Come From
According to the November 22, 1990, issue of the Toronto Star, the
source of Metro's Waste in 1989 was as follows:
Source Landfill Sites (tonnes)
Industrial/Commercial 2,010,795
Residential 934 ,435
TOTAL 2,945 ,230
AND WHAT'S DIVERTED
Newspaper/cardboard 42, 794
Leaves 21,616
Cans and plastic 10, 704
Scrap metal 4,616
Glass 4,466
Yard waste 625
TOTAL 84, 821
Which means that in 1989 LESS THAN 3% OF METRO'S WASTE WAS
DIVERTED.

Recycling of Plastic Bags 15 ---
Toxic Taxi 3 ---
TOTAL 56,925 18.4
Which means that in 1990, 18 .4% of DURHAM'S WASTE WAS
DIVERTED.
3.4 Waste Reduction is Now the Buzz Word
It is obvious that dramatic changes are required in Durham Region
and Metro with regard to how we handle solid waste. The options
are REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE rather than disposal.
It is necessary for everyone to make a concerted effort to do their
part in achieving waste reduction.
3 .5 Waste Reduction is a Region of Durham Mandate
As noted above, the Region of Durham has a "Waste Reduction
Committee" which deals with the Region's program for waste
reduction. Since waste reduction is a Region mandate, it is the
Region that has the funding and the staff to deal with the several
issues involved and develop an aggressive program of waste
reduction. Therefore, the area municipalities and in particular,
the Public Works Department can only act in a supporting role.
. . .5
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 5
From a staff viewpoint this supporting role is achieved through the
"Recycling Co-ordinating Committee" that the Region has
established. This Committee, which consists of staff from the
Public Works and Treasury Departments of the area municipalities ,
and the Region, meet periodically, to discuss waste reduction
issues .
3 . 6 Input to This Report
The following items are dealt with based on information obtained
from Durham Region and input from Ken Donnelly, Manager, Solid
Waste Management, Durham Region, Don Patterson, Manager of
Operations, Helen MacDonald, Suzanne Elston and John Veldhuis .
3. 7 Pilot Compost Plant - Resolutions #GPA-498-90 and #C-421-90
The following is quoted from a Durham Region Fact Sheet about
Central Composting:
CENTRAL COMPOSTING
" - Compostable organic waste accounts for 33% of all
Municipal solid waste generated.
- Organic waste materials which can generate gas and odours
should be diverted from landfill.
Central composting utilizes a natural process in a
controlled setting.
- Compostables are not only generated in residences, they
are also generated by the food processing industry,
restaurants, cafeterias, and residences which cannot use
a backyard composter (eg. apartments) .
i
. . .6
I
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 6
- Durham and its consultants are currently investigating
the construction of three Central Composting facilities.
- A Central Composting facility will be designed to receive
organics generated by residential, commercial, industrial
and institutional sources.
- Such a facility would compliment the backyard composting
program.
- Finished compost can be used as a soil conditioner on
agricultural lands and home gardens to retain nutrients
and moisture in the same manner as peat moss.
- Efforts in 1990-91 will concentrate on site selection and
certification by the Ministry of the Environment. "
The following is quoted from the Executive Summary of the "Draft"
of a Proposal Call for the Provision and Operation of a Central
Yard Waste Composting Facility prepared by Durham Region:
"The Region of Durham has decided to target central
composting of yard waste (i.e. , leaves, grass
clippings, brush, branches, Christmas trees, tree
stumps, flowers, shrubs and garden waste) from both
residential and industrial/commercial sources as
the initial stage of implementing full scale,
central composting of organic materials.
The Region perceives composting, both central and
backyard, as a key component of achieving its waste
reduction and diversion goals.
Accordingly, the Region wishes to receive PROPOSALS
from the private sector for the provision and
operation of a central yard waste composting
facility, as described in the following Request for
Proposals document.
�j . . .7
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 7
Beginning in 1991, it is planned that the disposal
of yard wastes at landfill sites will be banned in
Durham Region. Each of the Area Municipalities will
collect source separated, residential yard waste
materials and deliver them to a proposed central
yard waste composting facility. Separate
arrangements will be made for the collection and
delivery of yard waste materials from all other
sources.
It is intended that a single, uniform tipping fee
structure be applied to all types and sources of
yard waste received at the proposed facility.
Organic yard waste materials delivered to the
proposed facility will be processed into finished
compost (which will be transported to markets) and
residue (for transfer to landfill) ; recyclable
plastic from collection bags will be separated and
transported to plastic bag suppliers for
reprocessing.
Respondents will commit to provide and operate the
proposed central yard waste composting facility on
privately owned lands within the Region.
As an alternative, Respondents are encouraged to
examine the qualifications and potential of the
existing Regional leaf composting site, in Whitby, .
as a full scale yard waste composting site which
would be owned by the Region, but developed and
operated by the Respondent.
i
I
i
. . .8
i
I
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 8
Based on the Region's evaluation of Proposals
received, it is intended to enter into detailed
discussions and negotiations with selected
Respondents, with the ultimate goal of successfully
negotiating a mutually acceptable Agreement and
Contract for the provision and operation of the
proposed composting facility over a five year
period.
The Region wishes to encourage the implementation
of an efficient processing operation in order to
maximize the composting' of yard wastes and to
minimize the expense of the operation.
Accordingly, it is proposed that the successful
Contractor would be paid a graduated tipping fee
based on the monthly quantity of residential yard
waste delivered and processed; this would be the
sole payment by the Region to the Contractor for
all costs and expenses associated with: (1) design,
construction, operation and maintenance of the
proposed facility, (2) marketing and sale of the
composted materials, and (3) recycling or disposal
of residual materials. Secondly, the Contractor
would be allowed to charge an equivalent tipping
fee for privately delivered yard waste. Lastly,
the Region and the Contractor would share equally
in the gross revenues received from the sale of the
finished compost product. "
i
The Region advertised for proposals in February, 1991. The
location of a site for a Central Yard Waste Composting Facility
will depend on the proposals received. The Region will review the
recommended proposal with the area municipality in which the
i
recommended proposal is located and obtain approval of the area
municipality before proceeding with the proposal. Any proposal j
will of course require conformance with the municipality's Official
Plan and Zoning By-law.

3. 8 Recvclina Bin in Newtonville and Mitchell Corners
Resolution #C-681-90 and #GPA-42-91
Durham Region has implemented an "Adopt an Igloo Sponsorship
Program" . Refer to Attachment No.2 for details of the program.
At the present time, Durham Region operates Recycling Depots at 18
locations in Durham Region and have plans to add an additional 40
sites . Four of the 18 existing Recycling Depots are at the
following locations in Newcastle:
Bowmanville, Hampton and Orono Public
Works Depots and
Newcastle Village Fire Hall.
The Region has agreed to replace the existing bins at these sites
with Igloos and to install Igloos (subject to sponsorship) at the
following locations:
Enniskillen Fire Hall
Newtonville
Mitchell Corners
Kendal
Wilmot Creek Development
Ridge Pine Park has sponsored the Igloos for the Wilmot Creek
Development.
3 .9 Reduce Baas (Containers) from Six to Three
The purpose of reducing the number of bags from six to three is to
encourage people to recycle as much as possible.
i
i
The six bag limit is a maximum number of bags that each
resident/business is permitted to put out for pick-up each week.
This maximum is enforced only if an individual consistently puts
out more than six bags each week.
J9 . . .
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 10
Reducing the six bag limit to three will create a problem for
commercial/industrial establishments, many of which use the six
bag maximum every week. Those businesses which require more than
the six bag maximum each week have made separate arrangements with
a contractor for removal of their garbage.
The disposal of garbage is one of the most difficult problems that
society, not only in Durham Region and Metro Toronto, but world
wide, has to deal with. It can only be solved if we all do our
part. Therefore, in spite of some problems which will be created
by reducing the maximum number of bags (containers) permitted, I
recommend that the maximum number of containers be reduced from six
to five effective July 2, 1991, and that subsequent to the
implementation of this change the impact on the users be evaluated
from the viewpoint of reducing the number of containers even
further.
3 . 10 Town-Wide Recycling Program - Resolution #C-791-90
Effective January 1, 1989, garbage collection is provided
throughout the entire Town of Newcastle. When one considers that
the Town has a large rural area and 812 km of roads, the provision
of this level of service is a significant achievement. The
introduction of this service created very few problems and there
were very few complaints .
However, Town-wide Blue Box service is another matter. From the
viewpoint of cost, it is very expensive. As noted in Clause 3.8
of this report, the Region has agreed to expand the Recycling Depot
System in the Town from the existing four recycling depots to a
total of nine.
I
I
I
I
. . . 11 '
REPORT NO. : WD-31-91 PAGE 11
Therefore it is recommended that the Blue Box Recycling Pro ram
be restricted to the existing service, that is, the urban areas of
Courtice, Bowmanville, Newcastle Village and Orono and that the
rural areas of the Town be serviced bv the Rec clin Depot I loos
system.
3 . 11 Fine Paper Recycling: Resolution #GPA-849 90
It is estimated that fine paper represents 1. 8% of the residential
waste stream and 8. 6% of the industrial/commercial/institutional
waste stream.
Durham Region offers collection and processing of fine paper to
approximately 250 companies. In addition, the service is provided
to about 100 schools.
All the schools in the Town of Newcastle are provided with fine
paper recycling service.
A fine paper study is presently underway in Durham Region. The
goals of the study are to demonstrate workable models for fine
paper recycling programs, to develop a fine paper information
brochure and to encourage corporate-commercial fine paper
recycling. Until the study is completed in July, 1991, new
businesses are not being added to the existing collection routes.
i
For the present, anv individual who wishes to recycle fine paper
can deliver it to the Durham Recycling Centre on Garrard Road in
Whitby.
Kristen McCrea asked Council if she could bring her recycled fine
paper to the Municipal Administrative Centre on Temperance Street.
Although we would be able to accommodate one individual, it is not
feasible to suggest that the Municipal Administrative Centre could
be used as a "Drop-off Depot" for recycled fine paper.

3 . 12 Backyard Composters to be Sold at Cost: Resolution #C-752-90
In 1989, the Town of Newcastle participated in a Pilot Program of
utilizing backyard composters/digesters to reduce the amount of
garbage that has to be collected and disposed of at the landfill
site.
The Pilot Study was highly successful. I was one of the
participants . A backyard composter provides the following
benefits:
a) Makes it possible to dispose of kitchen and yard wastes every
day or even several times a day. This is especially
beneficial during the summer months . No smelly garbage in the
house or the garage.
b) The use of the composter results in a significant reduction
in the number of containers that a householder must put out
for collection.
c) The compost that is obtained is very useful as a fertilizer
and soil conditioner.
In 1990, Durham Region purchased 20,000 composters and launched
Ontario's first Community-Wide Backyard Composting Study in the
Town of Pickering. As of December, 1990, Pickering householders
have obtained 2, 100 composters.
Durham Region has decided to make this program available to all
residents in Durham Region. The Region will be purchasing 50,000
backyard composters for the program. The Ministry of the
Environment will contribute 50% of the cost of the composters and
the remaining costs will be paid by the individual participant.
i
I
As of March 1, 1991, the composters can be purchased by the public
at Rekker Gardens which is located on the northeast corner of Maple
Grove Road North and Highway No.2 . The plastic cone composter is
$20 and the wooden box composter is $26 .

RECYCLING
Benefits to the Environment
* Recycling materials is beneficial because it yields savings in energy costs and reduces
sulphur dioxide and nitrogen emissions from thermal electrical generating stations by
about 4.7 kilograms per household. These are the gases which cause acid rain.
• The energy required for the production of steel and paper is reduced by more than half
when using recycled materials.
• About 70 per cent of the energy normally used for the production of aluminum can be
saved by using recycled materials.
• The use of recycled glass or steel in manufacturing can reduce water consumption by
nearly 50 per cent.
• For every tonne of newspaper that is recycled 19 full-grown trees are left to live. These
trees help break down greenhouse gases which cause global warming.
• 1.3 tonnes of iron ore are saved for every tonne of recycled steel cans
• Nearly 20 per cent less energy is used when a tonne of clean glass cullet, crushed glass
mixed with other materials, is used in the production of glass than when the same
amount of virgin materials is used.
Benefits to You
• Each depot site will have 3 igloos. Sponsors are entitled to advertising space of 36" by
24" in up to 4 colours on all 3 igloos.
• By sponsoring an igloo your business will be supporting local recycling initiatives.
• Businesses illustrating concern for the environment will raise their profile within their
community.
• The extended exposure resulting from this type of advertising is beneficial due to the fact
that it makes your name seem more familiar to the public.
• Property Management Sponsors will see a savings in waste disposal costs of between 15
and 20 per cent.
• Every time a householder uses an igloo they are contributing to the well-being of our
natural environment. The public will appreciate your business for giving them the
opportunity to do their part.
• The satisfaction derived from knowing that you, as a sponsor, are doing something to
help the environment is enough to make sponsorship worthwhile.

Regional Municipality of Durham
Adopt an "Igloo"
Sponsorship
Program
What is an Igloo?
"Igloo is a generic term for a receptacle which collects recyclable materails(see diagram#1).These
containers represent an expansion of our existing Blue Box program. Igloos will be placed in
prominent locations throughout the populated areas in Durham Region, such as community
centres, apartment buildings, recreational/park facilities , townhouse complexes and transit
stations.
Background
"The igloo system of collection has been used extensively throughout Europe, particularly
Germany..Rhenus(Germany) has been using the Igloo system since 1976.The city of Rhenus has
noted an increase of 10% per year of recyclable materials collected through the use of the Igloo
system.,
In Canada several communities are assessing the use of the Igloo system,one example is Montreal,
Quebec. Montreal conducted a pilot project last year using the igloo system. From their study
(using 51 igloos and very little advertising) they have found they were able to divert 49 tonnes of
_solid waste per month. Montreal will be expanding their system by another 110 units in 1990.
Metro Toronto recently installed 70 igloos throughout the metropolitan area.Durham Region has
recently purchased 120 igloos.
How will the Igloo be used?
Once in its outdoor location the urban drop off depot(Igloo)will remain there year round.These
highly visible containers will be accessible for the public to drop off their recyclable materials
twenty four hours a day.The collection and servicing of the containers will be done on a weekly
basis.The site location for the Igloos will be chosen to compliment the existing Blue Box service.
Areas that have high pedestrian volumes are the primary locations i.e. bus stops, variety stores,
apartment buildings, community centres,etc.

Program
The Sponsorship Program
The "Adopt an Igloo" progam is set up to allow your organization to become publicly involved in
.your Regions environmental programs..With your sponsorship you will not only be helping to
expand Durham's Recycling Program you will also be increasing your public image,as an
organization concerned for the environment.This concern will be demonstrated be having your
logo placed directly on the Igloo indicating your sponsorship (see diagram#2 as an example).
Sponsorship Specifications
Each drop off site will consist of 3 igloos placed side by side to receive various types of recyclable
materials, As a sponsor your logo will appear on each of the 3 containers in an image area of
approximately 24" x 36" and includes black,plus one colour ( additional colour is available).
Although the life expectancy of the igloo is from five to ten years,you are guaranteed a minimum
of three'years exposure.
