Funding is needed to pay for the planned new diversion activities required to reach 70% diversion by 2010. This comprehensive plan will divert an additional 250,000 tonnes of waste from landfill annually, extending the life of our landfill until 2034. The rate charged will vary according to the volume of garbage put out for collection. Linking costs to volume of garbage means buildings that reduce garbage will pay less.
