What's the Future of Toronto's Trash?

After 2010, Toronto cannot dump trash in Michigan anymore - A new deal calls for waste shipments to be reduced by 20 per cent by the end of 2007, by 40 per cent by the end of 2008 and then fully eliminated by the end of 2010. Earlier this year, the government streamlined the environmental approval processes to allow dumps to be built faster, and Toronto has evolved a hot new recycling program that may be the answer - a new waste disposal system will insure that the city has the funds it needs to build new 'cleaner' dumps, closer to home.
