Ontario's Waste Problem — and Where Hospitality Fits In

Ontario's overall waste diversion rate has hovered near 24% for years while landfill capacity keeps shrinking. The commercial and hospitality sector lags furthest behind — often because operators lack space, time, or affordable collection options, not because they don't want to recycle.

~24%

Ontario's overall waste diversion rate has stalled for a decade.
