Québec, QC determines best way to divert food waste from landfills with residential collection pilot

Québec, QC Food Waste Residential Collection Pilot

Participants receive recyclable bags for food waste storage during two three-week pilots. Food waste bags are placed in garbage bins for collection. Québec's waste recovery center automatically removes and sends bags to an anaerobic digester. Each three-week pilot evaluates a different bag and container that could be used citywide by 2022. A broad-scale collection system helps the city achieve its goal of recovering at least 82% of resources used by 2028.
