This dataset replaces two datasets (large landfills and small landfills) which were last updated in 2014 and contain out of date information.

**Note the size and capacity of landfills are not available at this time but may be made available in future updates to this data. More detailed information may be obtained by contacting the local MECP district office using the link here.

Data with the following information for large landfills: * landfill capacity * fill rates * estimated remaining capacity * engineering designs * reporting and monitoring details This dataset was last updated in 2014 and contains out of date information. It has been replaced by the Ontario landfills dataset.

Data with the following information for small landfills: * open/closed status * site owner * site location * Certificate of Approval number This dataset was last updated in 2014 and contains out of date information. It has been replaced by the Ontario landfills dataset.

Waste disposal sites in Ontario both inactive and active up to 1991. Based on an Ontario Government publication Ontario Ministry of the Environment. "Waste Disposal Site Inventory", June 1991 G 3501 N46 900 - 1600 1990 TEXT

This statistic displays the volume of waste that has been diverted in Canada from 2004 to 2016. In 2016, some 9.25 million metric tons of material was diverted from entering the waste stream. The amount of waste generated in the country has increased; however, recycling rates have also increased across most of the country.

Ontario’s waste management

The volume of waste materials diverted away from landfills in Canada has increased from 7.1 million metric tons in 2004 to over 9.25 million metric tons in 2016. During this same year, about 2.6 million metric tons of organics was diverted in the country.

Although, all levels of government can have some impact on waste management in Ontario, each province is largely responsible for its own schemes including approval, licensing, and monitoring its management operations. Municipal governments are responsible for collecting and managing residential waste. In Ontario, there are several different programs that aim to reduce the volume of waste placed in landfills including: the blue box program, the used tires program, and the electrical and electronic equipment program. The first Blue Box Program in the province took effect on February 1st, 2004 and its purpose was to divert 50 percent of printed paper and packaging by 2006, contribute 50 percent of funds for municipal recycling by levying companies that put paper material into the marketplace, and ensure consumers adopt a fitting recycling behavior. About 95 percent of people living in the province have access to curbside recycling. Ontario accounted for 3.31 million metric tons of the country’s total diverted waste in 2016.

Data with the following information for small landfills: * open/closed status * site owner * site location * Certificate of Approval number This dataset was last updated in 2014 and contains out of date information. It has been replaced by the Ontario landfills dataset.

A "contaminant attenuation zone" is a three-dimensional zone that is,

• located on land adjacent to a landfilling site,
• in the subservice or extends into the subsurface, and
• is used or is intended to be used for the attenuation of contaminants from the landfilling site to levels that will not have an unacceptable impact beyond the boundary of the zone.

This new data class brings over data from the Waste Management Information System (WMIS), which is an MS Access based database used by MNR to track Waste Management Sites. This was married with the spatial data from Waste Disposal Sites where possible Different Waste Disposal Site types collected by the Ministry of Natural Resources include: * Compost Disposal * Hazardous Waste Disposal * Household Waste Disposal * Industrial Waste Disposal * Septic Drying Bed * Septic Field * Sewage Disposal * Tile Bed * Transfer Station This product requires the use of GIS software. *[GIS]: geographic information system *[MNR]: Ministry of Natural Resources *[WMIS]: Waste Management Information System *[MS]: Microsoft

The size of the Canada Waste to Energy Market was valued at USD XX Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD XXX Million by 2032, with an expected CAGR of 3.34">> 3.34% during the forecast period. The WtE market in Canada is particularly growing, due to mounting environmental concerns and the need for an environmentally friendly solution to waste management. In Canada, municipalities are looking to WtE as an alternative solution and escape the uneasy landing of resultant growing volumes of waste and final landfill capacity. Energy-generating waste is converted from various municipal solid wastes through different processes, such as incineration, gasification, and anaerobic digestion. This also reduces landfills and helps to generate energy to further support Canada in its Renewable Energy and Green House Gas reduction goals. Supportive policies and regulations by provinces facilitate and enable the development of WtE projects. A better practice in waste diversion and circular economy activity prompts investment in state-of-the-art WtE technologies. Examples include the provinces of Ontario and British Columbia, where several WtE facilities are operating and expansions are planned. Given the aforementioned levels of positive projections, there is still a lot of challenges facing the WtE market-strong public opposition towards incineration and high emission, so they say. On the contrary, technology improvements will continue to make waste-to-energy plants efficient and environmentally friendly, in theory at least alleviating this concern. At this general level, the Canadian market for waste-to-energy would continue to grow on providing an enduring, sustainable solution to waste management while keeping energy security and environment sustainability Recent developments include: March 2022: ANDION Global Inc. announced that the company secured a USD 20 million multi-partner financing to expand Andion's operations and acquire equity stakes in existing projects and accelerate the development of Andion's projects located across the world, including Canada., February 2022: A waste-to-energy plant came online in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Canada. The plant is expected to provide power to around 5,000 homes in Saskatchewan and provide heat and power for a new continuous kiln.. Key drivers for this market are: Strict Regulations for Wastewater Treatment Across Residential and Industrial Sector, Rising Use for Recovery in the Oil and Gas and Mining Industries. Potential restraints include: High Operation and Maintenance Costs4., Volatility in Oil and Gas Prices. Notable trends are: Thermal-based Waste to Energy Conversion May Have Increasing Adoption.
