  • As Toronto Finds Distant Holes for Its Waste, the 905 Sees Incineration in a New, Appealing Light July 30, 2007
    Toronto Star As Toronto finds distant holes for its waste, the 905 sees incineration in a new, appealing light July 30, 2007 Phinjo Gombu STAFF REPORTER Despite skepticism and some opposition, Durham Region is deeply committed to building the GTA's first garbage incinerator in 15 years, says the region's works commissioner. "Years ago, there was a fundamental commitment by Durham Region that there would be no new landfills established (here)," says Cliff Curtis. "And council seems to have bought into the concept that we need to look after our own waste." That seems to be a unique position in the GTA, where disposing of trash in one's own backyard tends to stink politically. Sustainable self-sufficiency, with acceptance of some risk, is a goal other regions seem to be avoiding. Toronto and Peel have signed long-term deals to use landfills outside the GTA, though Peel already incinerates half its waste. York plans to turn some of its garbage into pellets to be burned somewhere else. For the time being, Halton has decided to continue to use a Milton landfill. After the province promised Michigan legislators that Ontario would stop shipping garbage to landfills in the state by 2010, councils across the GTA scrambled to find alternatives. Most have taken a step back from incineration, long fraught with concerns about emissions. Halton Region decided to defer considering an energy-from-waste incinerator for five years. Peel signed a long-term deal with a landfill near Sarnia for half of its trash, despite the fact its Algonquin Power plant in Brampton, built in 1992, already burns almost 140,000 tonnes of garbage a year and is undergoing a retrofit so it can dispose of more.
