Waste as a resource: Converting food scraps into renewable energy

Posted on Thursday, June 11, 2020 08:00 AM

The Region of Durham is planning a Mixed Waste Pre-Sort and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility to convert organic waste like food scraps into a renewable natural gas that will be used to heat homes and power natural gas barbeques and vehicles.

Currently, the preferred location for the new facility is in Clarington, next to the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC). While Durham’s population continues to grow—with an expectancy to reach more than 1 million people in the next decade—more residents will mean...

Posted on Sunday, June 07, 2020 08:45 AM

Each year, from May to October, the Region implements line painting operations on Durham roads to ensure roadway markings are easily visible and reflective.

To ease your commute, the Region has equipped our road painting trucks with new technology that allows residents to view the location of painting operations in real-time. Residents can now plan their route by following our line painting crews on Waze—an innovative live traffic and navigation app.

Line painting is a moving operation that progresses...

Blue box recycling: two stream separation is key to Durham’s success

Posted on Monday, March 09, 2020 08:00 AM

In today’s increasingly challenging recycling markets, it is more important than ever to keep recyclables as clean as possible. Ninety-five per cent of the Region’s recyclable materials are moved to sustainable end markets within North America, including Canada and the United States. Even with this remarkably high rate of materials making it to end markets, we strive to do better. The remaining five percent are non-recyclable materials that residents mistakenly put in their blue boxes. 

The success...
