Twenty years from now, crops
growing on recycled garbage will be
an everyday sight.
That's pretty hard to imagine
right now because most of us think of
garbage as just that-garbage. But
in fact, it's a potential resource.
And the Ontario Ministry of
the Environment is harnessing it. ,
How, does it happen?
By recycling. Garbage will be
taken to recycling centres where it
will be shredded, separated, and
some of it, turned into fertile toil to re-
vitalize barren areas of the province.
The same basic shredding and
separating process will also produce
fuel, paper, cardboard, metals.
And we've just begun to explore
the possible end usessof garbage.
Separation
of light
and heavy
material
The system: step by step.
A centre for advanced research will
come up with many more.
Where is it happening?
Our Ministry has
alreadyindugUrated .
Ontario's first recyclin.
centre in-North York.
In the next two years,
similar centres will be
built to serve London,
Sudbury, Peel, lialton,
Metro Toronto and
south eastern Ontario.
In 15 years there will be
recycling centres all across the
province to handle 90 per cent of
Ontario's garbage-everything from
abandoned cars to organic waste.
Why recycle?
Because the people of Ontario
-all of us-pile up garbage at three
times the rate that the population
increases.
The Ministry is working on
ways to reduce that amount, but we'll
always have garbage. And we're •
having trouble finding places to put
it and the landfill to cover it.
Once garbage is being
recycled, those problems will be over.
But more important than the dumping
problems, we're literally throwing
away valuable resources with every
ton of garbage we discard.
In a community of 100,000,
garbage recycling will conserve
the equivalent of up to 3,500,000
gallons of fuel oil a year, 3,600 tons of
reclaimed steel, 4,500 tons of glass.
Our recycling program is
considered one of the most
advanced in the world. It's a
commitment to a
different way of living.
And the whole
world will be watching
Ontario's garbage come
up roses.
