1 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management 2014 Report

2 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management 2014 Summary Page 1 Metro Vancouver is responsible for the planning and management of recycling and solid waste services for the region. This document provides a summary of recycling and solid waste management activities that took place in the year These activities are guided by the Metro Vancouver Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWRMP) PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS For more details on Metro Vancouver Solid Waste programs and campaigns, visit and type solid waste in the search bar. POLICY & PLANNING EVENTS & CONFERENCES Metro Vancouver s Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWRMP) was approved by the province in July The Plan: outlined initiatives to achieve diversion rates of 70% by 2015 and 80% by 2020 set the framework for solid waste management in Metro Vancouver Consultation workshops were conducted on draft regulatory mechanisms to increase recycling, including: Organics disposal ban (implementation in 2015). Wood waste disposal ban (implementation in 2015). Waste flow management bylaw. RFQ1 for new Waste to Energy capacity in the region finalized to short list proponents and technologies to move forward into RFQ 2. A site identification process was initiated. Worked with member municipalities to develop strategies for the replacement of the Coquitlam Transfer Station and the implementation of a new Residential Drop Off facility in Surrey. Following the success of activities since the Metro Vancouver Board adopted the Zero Waste Challenge in 2007, the board hosted the third annual Zero Waste Challenge conference which: presented Metro Vancouver s Zero Waste Challenge strategy showcased a cradle to cradle design challenge provided a forum for stakeholder debate, discussion, and collaboration Metro Vancouver participated with a number of other municipalities in the National Zero Waste Benchmarking Initiative to: Standardize and measure progress towards zero waste. Share lessons learned with other participating jurisdictions. Metro Vancouver staff attended and presented at a number of conferences including those hosted by: the Recycling Council of BC the Federation of Canadian Municipalities the Solid Waste Association of North America Northwest Regional Symposium

Research on available technologies for onsite organics processing. This research was conducted to better understand available technologies and the challenges of processing organics at business locations. Research into the composition of waste for specific business types. This work was implemented to expand the understanding of waste generated from the ICI sector. Researched various methods to increase recycling in MF and ICI sectors including mandatory recycling, hauler incentive programs and generator incentive programs. Completed construction of the NOx reduction upgrade at the WTE facility. The resulting project reduced NOx emissions by over 50%. Food scraps recycling education and awareness campaigns. National Zero Waste Council collaboration with municipalities across the country. The Food Waste Diaries campaign tracked and reported on residents food scraps through various disposal options. Sustainability Breakfasts on reducing waste generation and organics diversion in Multi Family Buildings and food businesses. Outreach via Water Wagon and Tap Water Outreach Team to reduce singleuse bottle waste. Ongoing recycling awareness raising campaigns: Create memories, not garbage Christmas waste reduction. Everything has its place. metrovancouverrecycles.org PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY Product Stewardship programs, also called Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs, are industrymanaged programs designed to make producers and consumers responsible for the management of goods throughout their life cycles. EPR holds producers and consumers accountable for the costs of managing their products at end of life. Items managed through EPR programs are banned from Metro Vancouver disposal facilities and are diverted before they enter the region s solid waste management system. The percentage of materials diverted from the system through EPR programs is dependent upon the range of materials or products targeted by the programs, how many exemptions are allowed, and, ultimately, how many consumers use the programs. FOCUS ON PRINTED PAPER AND PACKAGING (PPP) IN 2014 The Stewardship Plan for Multi Material British Columbia (MMBC), the stewards of the Printed Paper and Packaging (PPP) EPR program was approved by the Ministry of the Environment in April MMBC began operations in April 2014 collecting program materials from the residential sector. Most member municipalities participate in the program having elected either municipal or MMBC collection of the materials.

4 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management 2014 Summary Page RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE SUMMARY Recycling and solid waste management is categorized into three sectors: Residential; Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional (ICI); and Demolition, Land clearing, and Construction (DLC). In 2014, 2,040,280 tonnes of material were recycled and diverted from disposal in Metro Vancouver. This amounts to 61% of the waste material generated in the region. A remaining 1,303,191 tonnes of solid waste were disposed of. Garbage and recycling from single family residences are collected mostly in dedicated vehicles, by municipalities; therefore, single family residential garbage and recycling percentages have a reasonably high degree of certainty. However, garbage from multi family residences is usually mixed with garbage DISPOSAL & RECYCLING Regional Totals 2014 Disposal & Waste to Energy 39% 1,303,191 tonnes Recycled & Diverted 61% 2,040,280 tonnes from industrial, commercial, and institutional (ICI) businesses, as they are both typically collected by the private sector on the basis of efficient vehicle routing. As a result, multi family residential garbage and recycling percentages are less certain, and should be considered approximate only. For the 2014 calendar year, the multi family residential recycling rate was estimated to be about 24% (including EPR recyclables). Additionally, Metro Vancouver estimates that approximately 100,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste from commercial generators and multi family residential buildings were exported from the region to disposal in These generators are served by private haulers, who deliver the waste to a transfer facility in Abbotsford. This out of region disposal estimate was believed to be insignificant prior to Waste export is significant and has been increasing up to the reporting period; it is therefore included in the ICI and multi family sectors 2014 disposal totals. The ISWRMP (the Plan) contemplates options for regional waste flow management to ensure all material generated in the region is managed under the goals of the Plan. Metro Vancouver s effort to implement a waste flow management bylaw was approved by the Board in 2013, but subsequently rejected by the Province in October of The impacts on Metro Vancouver s ability to implement the ISWRMP are being evaluated. The following table presents recycling and solid waste quantities for each sector. In 2014, Metro Vancouver has estimated the distribution of EPR recycling tonnages to the single family, multi family and commercial sectors (see note 3 in Table 1). Appendix 1 includes a similar table with a comparison to the previous year.

This includes Residential Drop Off tonnages. 2 Estimated tonnes of disposed waste are based on per capita multi family disposal rates and the total transfer station weigh scale reports for Commercial waste. A calculated portion of that total is then attributed to each sector. Multifamily recycling is reported by municipalities and combined with estimated Residential Drop Off tonnages. 3 The Total Recycling Rate includes the Product Stewardship tonnages. The recycling rates for individual Sectors also include Product Stewardship tonnages, based on estimates of the relative contributions to Product Stewardship tonnages from single family homes (54%), multi family homes (36%), and businesses (10%) with the exception of MMBC tonnages that are 100% allocated to the single family sector. 4 Population, Employment and Housing figures are based on 2014 projections provided by Metro Vancouver s Regional Planning Department and are based on 2011 census data. 5 Out of region disposal estimates based on scale record analysis and FVRD tonnage reports. Split between industrial, commercial, and institutional, and multi family, based on per capita multi family disposal estimate and population. METRO VANCOUVER S RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Metro Vancouver s integrated recycling and solid waste management system provides service to the residents and businesses of 21 municipalities, one Electoral Area and one Treaty First Nation. Waste from the City of Abbotsford is received at the Matsqui Transfer Station (closed November 1, 2015) and waste from Thompson Nicola Regional District, the Village of Cache Creek, and the Village of Ashcroft is delivered to the Cache Creek Landfill, but is not tabulated in the Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Quantities.

6 Metro Vancouver Recycling and Solid Waste Management 2014 Summary Page 5 Recycling Municipalities historically have provided recycling services for the single family residential sector, and some parts of the multi family residential and ICI sectors. In 2014, a private sector industry stewardship organization Multi Materials BC (MMBC) assumed responsibility for recycling Packaging and Printed Papers from single family homes, as legislated by the Province. Most multi family residential, ICI, and DLC recyclables are managed by the private sector (although industry stewardship program will take over for multi family residences and ICI businesses in the coming years). The following table presents the quantities and types of recyclables collected in In this table, Take Back (EPR) recyclables have been presented separately instead of allocating to residential and ICI sectors. There is a notable shift in the amount of recycling (~57,000 t) from the residential sector now in the EPR column.

In 2014, the Regional Facilities consisted of: seven transfer stations Vancouver Landfill Cache Creek Landfill Waste to Energy Facility in Burnaby All municipal solid waste delivered to the disposal facilities (landfills and waste to energy) is accounted in Metro Vancouver s disposal rate (including DLC and material disposed out of region). The current per capita disposal rate in the region is 0.53 tonnes per person. DLC waste is handled separately from the regional solid waste management system and is disposed at either a private landfill, the Vancouver Landfill or at one of several other landfills that are not under Metro Vancouver

In 2014, the Residential, ICI, and DLC sectors in Metro Vancouver disposed of a total 1,303,191 tonnes of waste to the regional system and private disposal facilities. In 2014, Metro Vancouver residents, businesses and industry achieved an overall recycling or diversion rate of 61%. Figures 1 and 2, below, show changes in the regional diversion rate from all waste sectors, and the total per capita generation, disposal and recycling rates for the region since 1994, respectively.
