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.
