The "Plan d'action 2010-2015" of the Quebec government, with regard to residual materials management, is to reduce the volume of residual materials sent to landfills to 700 kg per person; recycle 70% of residual paper, cardboard, plastic, glass and metal; transform 60% of all residual organic materials via biological processes; recycle or recuperate 80% of dry materials such as concrete, bricks and asphalt; send to sorting centres 70% of construction, renovation and demolition materials from the construction sector.
In 2010, Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci has diverted 48,08% of its residual waste from landfills. Congratulations!
