The transformation is called "Watts fromWaste" and il's sponsored by the Orntario Ministry of the Environ- ment, Ontario Hydro and Metro Toronto. It',s just orne part of the Ministrys garbage recycling program to turn garbage into a valuable resource. How recycling works." As garbage is shredded and various elements separated, a waste is praduced which can be bumned as fuel in Toronto hydro generating stations. The same basic process will also produce fuel for steamn heating and cooling systems, fuel for cernent kilns, landf iii, paper, metals. A centre for Landtill Separation Recycable of metals matewjals Fuel Separation Shreddng of ight Shrecingand heavy materai The system: step by step. advan.ced resecarch will invesfigate future end uses for garbage. Where it's happening. The Ministry has already inaugurated Ontario's first centre in North York. In the next two years, centres will be buit ta serve Sudbury, London, Peel, Haltorh, Metro Toronto and south eastem Ontario. -,. w go ~h-. , In 15 years, we'l have centres right through the province with a transportation system and transfer stations to keep the network flowing. They'll recycle 90 per cent of Ontario's garbage - everything from abandoned cars ta organic waste. Why it's happening. The people of Ontario -all of. us -pile up garbage aI three times the rate that the populationýincreases. Although the Mînistry is working on ways ta reduce that amount, we'll always have garbage. And its getting harder ta find dumping sites and the landf iii necessary ta caver those sites. When garbage is being fully re- cycled, dumping prablems won't exist. But there's a more seriaus problem. .When we throw garbage awary we throw arway valuable resources. Recycling, in a cammunity of 100,000, wi11 mean a saving ,ôf up ta 30,000 tons cf paper and cArdbard ayear; 700 tons of aluminum, cpelead and zinc; 15 acres cf land that would otherwise be used for dumping. »Our program is con- - sidered one of the most advanced in the world. We've got everything '.w e ne'ed ta make il work- ~$'~-the ideas; the knowledge, the comxnitment, and * the grae Ministry of the Environment Ontario Hon.
