Government of Newfoundland & Labrador Waste Management Strategy 2002

Divert 50 percent of the materials currently going to disposal by 2010

Reduce the number of waste disposal sites by 80 per cent

Eliminate open burning at disposal sites by 2005

Phase out the use of incinerators by 2008

Phase out use of unlined landfill sites by 2010

Full province-wide modern waste management by 2010.

Key Components of Waste ManagementSource separation

Collection

Local waste management facilities (LWMF)

Material Recovery Facility (MRF)

Compost facility

Construction & Demolition Debris facility

Household Hazardous Waste facility

Second generation Landfill (lined landfill)

Source Separation – Two Bag (wet/dry)

efficient single-pass collection (lower collection costs)

the production of compost;

the stabilization of Wet waste residue;

the inability to hide unacceptable wastes (e.g. HHW, yard waste) in transparent bags.

compost carts not required

less education of the public required (sorting is simpler)

control of recovery rates occurs at the facility instead of in the home or curb, providing the flexibility to respond to market demands
