Maritime provinces divert the most organic waste per capita, 2002 and 2004

1. Data are derived from a survey administered by RECYC-QUÉBEC.
Notes: Data for Saskatchewan and Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut do not appear due to confidentiality reasons.
Covers only those companies and local waste management organizations that reported they prepared non-hazardous material for recycling. Does not include materials managed on-site, or those materials transported by the generator directly to secondary processors such as pulp and paper mills while bypassing entirely any firm or local government involved in waste management activities.
