Defining Landfill Free • All non productive materials (hazardous and non
hazardous) from ongoing, day-to-day operations
• Includes regular maintenance activities like pit
cleanouts
• Excludes wastewater and event waste (e.g.
construction)
• Non productive materials are managed using
waste hierarchy of elimination, reuse, recycling,
energy recovery
• At manufacturing sites, on average 96% of waste
can be recycled/reused and less than 4% remains
to be managed through energy recovery

Results
• St. Catharines Facility – Landfill free since 2008
• CAMI and Oshawa Automotive Assembly Plants
currently divert more than 95% of the total non
productive material
•Key waste challenges:
wastewater treatment plant sludge,
paint sludge; and
plant trash

St. Catharines: Landfill Free Activities
• Actual landfill waste volumes (production-related waste only):
o 2005 landfill total = 1089 MT (11% reduction from 2004)
o 2006 landfill total = 982 MT (9.8% reduction from 2005)
o 2007 landfill total = 525 MT (46.5% reduction from 2006)
o 2008 landfill total = 69.7 MT (pre-ZWTL for January to April)
o April 2008 – Present = LANDFILL FREE
• Since zero waste to landfill was achieved the goal is continuous
improvement and cost reduction
o to improve recyclable waste volumes by 1% for mixed paper
and mixed beverage containers or 1.5 tonnes for each waste
stream

Key to Success: Tracking Waste
Quantities • Each month waste quantities for each waste type were entered into a tracking
database.
• In 2007 the facility started plotting a glide path to be Landfill Free with annual
reductions which generated a monthly graph to present to plant management.

Lessons Learned on Path to Zero
Waste to Landfill
• Communication is the largest hurdle
• Need to be persistent
• Waste Management contractor has to stay actively
involved with planning
• Executive Team’s/Plant management support is
critical
