In 2019, a characterization of the community’s residual materials was carried out, with the aim of drawing a portrait of the situation and targeting certain opportunities for improvement. The characterization made it possible to estimate that the community annually sends 167,000 kg of waste to landfill, and 51,000 kg of materials to the sorting center.
The results of the characterization are illustrated in the graphs below. A proportion of 76% of waste collection could be reused, which would divert 127,000 kg of materials annually from landfill. For recycling, 13% to 38% could be used otherwise, which represents between 6,600 kg and 19,500 kg annually.
Educational capsules are being produced and will eventually be broadcast.
