“The key is not to ensure that there’s enough centres to process all of our recycling, but it’s to reduce our waste at source,” Sabaa Khan of the David Suzuki Foundation said.Eighty-two per cent of all material including plastics, metals, glass, paper products and others that is collected at the sorting centre is recycled, according to Daigle.
He says he’s working to boost that number even higher, but environmentalists say it’s better to reduce the amount of material that needs to be sorted in the first place.
