1.0 Introduction

In accordance with Ontario Regulation 102/94, a solid non-hazardous, end-of-pipe waste audit was

conducted at all Halton Catholic District School Board schools between October 2011 and May 2012.

Regulation 102/94 states that any educational institution with enrolment greater than 350 is required to

complete a waste audit annually as well as develop a waste reduction workplan based on the results of

the audit. At the HCDSB, a waste audit was conducted at every school facility regardless of enrolment to

ensure our continued commitment to waste reduction. According to the regulation, the workplan must

be updated annually and commitment to its implementation must be made. The following areas must

be addressed within the audit:

The way in which the waste is generated

The amount, nature and composition of the waste generated

The method in which the waste is managed after generation

The waste reduction workplan must include:

plans to reduce, reuse and recycle waste

who will implement each part of the plan

when each part will be implemented

what the expected results are

It is also required that a recycling component is included in the waste audit summary, focusing on the

recycled content of items purchased for use within each educational institution. See Appendix A for the

complete details of Ontario Regulation 102/94.

2.0 Methodology

2.1 Sorting Waste and Recycling

At each facility, waste was collected over a one day period and stored in garbage bags for sorting. A

minimum of one quarter of the total number of bags was selected for sorting at each location. Bags

were selected with no discrimination based on size, weight, smell or any other characteristic.

Eight waste categories were selected based on Ministry of Environment guidelines, as well as the

expected day-to-day activities that take place at the schools. The waste categories are as follows:

Recyclable Plastic (#1,2,5)

Non-Recyclable Plastic

Recyclable Paper (including cardboard and newsprint where applicable)

Organic Paper

Recyclable Metal

Glass

Food and Yard Waste

Multi-Composite/Other Waste

For the purpose of this waste audit, tetra-packs were sorted under the category of Recyclable Plastic.

Each selected bag was opened and the contents divided into the above categories. Each category was

then weighed on a scale and recorded in kilograms. Recycling receptacles were also sorted and weighed

based on the above method.

At schools where cardboard is collected and disposed of separately, weekly or bi-weekly tonnage was

supplied by the waste hauler. This data was accounted for in the waste audit results.

2.2 Data Organization and Manipulation

The raw data was inputted into a Microsoft Excel workbook. Weekly and annual weights were

calculated based on a 40 week school year. Capture and diversion rates were calculated for each facility

and annual weight generated and diverted per student was calculated.

3.0 Current Waste Management System

The majority of waste generated at each school is the result of student and staff consumption. Some

waste is a result of packaging associated with cleaning and school supplies.

All waste collection, transportation and disposal are organized in collaboration with the Regional

Municipality of Halton’s waste management division.

The current waste generated at each school is typically divided into three collection categories: regular

waste, blue box items and green cart items.

4.0 Waste Audit Results

Based on 49 school sites and one administrative site, the Board achieved an overall diversion rate of

49.6%. Based on the audit results, the Board produce a total of approximately 644,866 kg of waste

during the 2011-2012 school year and diverted approximately 319,713 kg of waste.

Individual school waste audit results varied. Please see attached results for each facility.

5.0 Discussion and Recommendations

Recommendations to increase capture and diversion rates, reduce the amount of waste going to

landfills and increase the Board’s overall sustainability, can be broken down into three main strategies:

Source Reduction

Recycling and Composting

Recycled Content of Supplies

5.1 Source Reduction

The two main strategies for source reduction within a facility is to change the output product and to

change the processes that occur within the facility, this may include changing the input materials,

changing the technologies used and exercising best practices. For schools, the focus for

recommendations is on exercising best practices regarding reducing and reusing potential waste. This

may include but is not limited to the usage of reusable containers for food and beverages, the reduction

of paper usage, and increasing overall awareness regarding the importance of reducing of waste.

5.2 Recycling and Composting

In addition to the requirements of Regulation 102/94, Ontario Regulation 103/94 states that the

operator of a school with an enrolment of 350 students or more, shall ensure that a source separation

program be implemented for the waste generated by the operation of the institution. According to

Regulation 103/94 waste must be separated into at least the following categories:

Aluminum food or beverage cans

Cardboard

Fine paper

Glass bottles and jars for food or beverages

Newsprint

Steel food or beverage cans

In Halton, all of the above materials are not required to be separated at the source. They are collected

as one waste stream and are later sorted at the Regional Recycling Centre. All HCDSB schools currently

participate in the Halton Region’s Blue Bin program and are therefore in compliance with Regulation

103/94. See Appendix B for the complete details of Ontario Regulation 103/94.

At most schools, it was found that Recyclable Paper, Food and Yard Waste, Recyclable Plastic and

Organic Paper were the most significant contributors to the waste by weight. Between October 2009

and January 2010, under the guidance of the Halton Region, the GreenCart program was introduced into

all Board facilities, which collects all food and organic waste. This program has, and will continue to,

significantly impact the total diversion of the Board’s waste from landfills.

To assist in increasing capture rates of waste that can be disposed of in the current recycling

receptacles, schools should ensure all classrooms and offices have the appropriate number of recycling

bins to help maximize capture rates. Recycling bins should also be placed in areas where beverages are

regularly consumed from containers. Students and faculty should be educated on what is placed in the

recycling bin versus a waste container. Each classroom and office should have information posted on the

classroom walls to help the students participate in recycling. To help ensure that recyclable items are

being disposed of in the recycling receptacles there should always be a one-to-one-to-one ratio of

garbage cans to blue bins to green carts throughout the facility.

To aid in the promotion of recycling, the large “brute” garbage bins currently in use in most classrooms

will be phased out over the next year and replaced with smaller garbage cans. This will also help reduce

the waste associated with the large garbage bags themselves.

Staff and students should refer to the “Green Cart and Blue Box Programs Best Practices Booklet” as

provided to each school, for further information on how to implement and improve the school’s

recycling program.

Although it is the responsibility of the Environmental Sustainability Officer to generate a Waste

Reduction Workplan for each facility, it is the responsibility of the principal to facilitate the

implementation of the workplan at each location, and the responsibility of all staff and students at each

school to carry out the workplan. Please see your school’s attached Waste Reduction Workplan for

further details.

5.3 Recycled Content of Supplies

As required by Regulation 102/94, a waste audit must also evaluate the content of recycled material in

supplies ordered for a facility. Whenever financially feasible the Board purchases office supplies,

furniture and other necessities containing as much recycled content as possible.

Our Environmental Stewardship Policy encourages all Board personnel, students, parents and Catholic

School Councils to adopt and promote environmentally appropriate practices. It also states that the

Board use purchasing practices that evaluate the acquisition and disposal of products according to the

following criteria: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and whenever possible, select products and services that are

environmentally friendly, or alternately refuse products.

Under this Policy, the Board looks to develop and implement a plan for integrating sustainable

environmental practices into each of the Board’s operational services, including purchasing.

6.0 Conclusion

In conclusion, it is recommended that the Halton Catholic District School Board continue with the

improvement of both the Blue Box and GreenCart programs, continuously educate students and staff on

good waste management practices, and purchase supplies with recycled content. Benefits from

implementing these strategies include better overall awareness, improved capture rates, improved

diversion rates, reduced costs, and improved community image. Annual waste audits will continue to be

completed to track progress and set goals for future years.
