Know the facts when it comes to Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion

Posted on Friday, August 27, 2021 09:38 AM

Misconception: There has been no open disclosure, or a full environmental assessment done on the Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility.

Fact: The Environmental Assessment Act in Ontario does not require an environmental assessment for waste sorting or AD facilities. These types of operations are recognized as being low risk for environmental impacts and do not generate air emissions.

Garbage bags with waste inside

Know the facts when it comes to Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion

Posted on Tuesday, June 22, 2021 03:44 PM

Misconception: The Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility will result in an increase in the amount of garbage processed at the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC). 

Fact: Waste for the new Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Facility will only come from Durham Region. Durham’s garbage will be delivered to the new Mixed Waste Pre-sort and Anaerobic Digestion Facility first, so organics, non-combustibles and recyclable items can be removed from each garbage bag....
