1 Introduction

Trent University (TrentU) retained the services of Waste Reduction Group Inc to conduct a solid non‐hazardous waste audit for the educational institution. Trent U operates two campuses, located in Peterborough and Oshawa. The waste audit examined representative samples of waste from eight (8) different areas on the campuses over a four (4) day period in January 2017. The goal of the waste audit was to gain an understanding of the quantities and composition of solid non‐hazardous wastes generated at the educational institution.

TrentU is a multi‐building community that has a population of approximately 8500 students and staff that generate waste and divertible materials. TrentU took the initiative to conduct a solid non‐hazardous waste audit with the intent of complying with O.Reg. 102/94, confirm compliance with O.Reg.103/94 and to further improve upon their present waste reduction, reuse and recycling initiatives.

1.1 Purpose The purpose of the solid non‐hazardous waste audit was to:

Comply with Part X of O.Reg. 102/94 ‘Waste Audits and Waste Reduction Work Plans’, which requires the operator of an educational institution with more than 350 students enrolled per year, to conduct an annual waste audit and prepare and implement a waste reduction work plan (Refer to Appendix A for a partial excerpt of O.Reg.102/94);

Confirm compliance with Section 14 of O.Reg.103/94 ‘Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Source Separation Programs’ and Part X ‘Educational Institutions’ of the Schedule attached to the Regulation (Refer to Appendix A for a partial excerpt of O.Reg.103/94).

Determine the annual waste diversion rate for TrentU resulting from existing waste reduction, reuse, and recycling programs;

Identify point of generation and quantify composition of wastes at TrentU;

Identify any additional opportunities for waste reduction and diversion that may exist at TrentU;

Address any specific concerns or opportunities identified during the study.

1.2 Scope of Work

To satisfy the purpose of the waste audit, the following scope of work was completed:

Collected data pertaining to waste composition at the campuses as follows:

o Peterborough Campus: January 18, 19 and 20, 2017; and o Durham Campus: January 27, 2017.


2

Determined the total quantity of waste materials diverted from landfill by TrentU through current reduction, reuse, and recycling initiatives;

Completed a Waste Audit Report (per MOE protocol) that addressed the amount, nature and composition of the waste, the manner by which the waste was generated, including management decisions and policies that relate to the production of waste, and the way in which the waste is managed on campus; and

Completed a Waste Reduction Work Plan (per MOE protocol) regarding plans to reduce, reuse and recycle waste on campus. The report set out who will implement each part of the plan, when each part will be implemented and what the expected results shall be.

2 Methodology Discussions were held with TrentU personnel to review existing waste management and recycling programs implemented on campus. Based on previous waste audit experience and information gathered by TrentU, a waste audit schedule was developed. The waste audit was performed over four (4) days in January 2017, as summarized in Table 1: Table 1: 2017 Waste Audit Sample Schedule

Date Campus Building/Location

January 18, 2017 Peterborough Champlain,

January 19, 2017 Peterborough Gzowski, Environmental Science, Blackburn, DNA

January 20, 2017 Peterborough Champlain, Otonabee College, Lady Eaton College

January 27, 2017 Durham Durham Campus

In coordination with the TrentU staff, twenty‐four hour samples of waste were collected from each of the identified buildings and/or locations on the waste audit schedule, except for Durham Campus. At this location, a 72‐hour sample was collected. Sample weights from Durham Campus were thus adjusted to representative 24‐hr weights throughout the report. Bags of garbage were collected and labelled describing the functional area within the building that generated the waste material, including office areas, public areas, classrooms, washrooms, food service kitchens, dining areas and complex labs. The collected bags of labelled wastes were brought to a designated collection and waste audit area by TrentU staff. The weights of waste materials from each building and functional area were recorded. Refer to Appendix A for a copy of the Scale Calibration Certificate. Waste materials were then unloaded, sorted into individual waste categories, weighted, re‐bagged and disposed of in the appropriate garbage or recycling bins. Waste samples were sorted by a qualified team from Waste Reduction Group. Materials source separated by TrentU for recycling were not collected and categorized during the audit however the annual quantity of all diverted materials was reviewed and included in the audit results.

Waste material categories were established prior to the audit based on O.Reg.103/94 requirements for source separation at educational institutions, including:

Aluminum food or beverage cans (including cans made primarily of aluminum);

Cardboard (corrugated);

Fine paper;

Glass bottles and jars for food or beverages;

Newsprint; and

Steel food or beverage cans (including cans made primarily of steel). In addition to these standard categories other important waste streams such as other mixed containers (PET, HDPE, polypropylene, aseptic), organic wastes, paper towels, mixed plastics, Styrofoam, yard waste, electronic waste, scrap wood, scrap metal and special wastes (i.e. batteries, bulbs and ballasts) were included depending on what auditors found in the samples.

3 Waste Audit Results 3.1 Garbage Quantities & Distribution A key aspect of O. Reg. 102/94 is for waste generators to gain a good understanding of the areas of their operation that generate the most waste, how it is generated, as well as the waste composition. One can use this information to focus their recycling and waste reduction efforts efficiently and effectively. Table 2 summarizes the quantity and distribution of waste materials collected for the waste audit. Table 2: Quantity & Distribution of Waste Audit Sample

Organic food wastes were found in high quantities in all areas of the university that were audited. An organics program is implemented in some areas on campus. Results suggest that TrentU may benefit from expanding the existing program in order to capture more organic materials. In addition, high quantities of paper towels were found in the garbage stream from most areas of the campus, especially in washrooms. It is recommended that TrentU investigate the feasibility of implementing a paper towel recycling program. Often paper towels can be combined in existing organics and/or cardboard programs depending on service provider requirements. Alternatively, TrentU may wish to investigate the feasibility of installing air dryers or re‐useable linen rolls to replace paper towels. Finally, mixed containers and mixed papers were found in the garbage stream from most areas of the campus. TrentU has implemented recycling programs for mixed papers and mixed containers. Results suggest that improved collection systems and/or labels, program promotion and/or improved student/employee/cleaner education may be required to capture more of these materials.

3.3 Percentage of Recyclables in Garbage O.Reg. 103/94 requires that ‘educational institutions’ source separate the following materials (at a minimum):

Aluminum food or beverage cans (including cans made primarily of aluminum);

Cardboard (corrugated);

Fine paper;

Glass bottles and jars for food or beverages;

Newsprint; and

Steel food or beverage cans (including cans made primarily of steel). Figure 4 summarizes the quantity of these ‘mandatory’ recyclable materials found in the overall university waste audit garbage samples compared to ‘other recyclable’ materials (i.e. organics, paper towels, etc) and ‘non‐recyclable’ materials.


10

Figure 4: Overall University Percent Recyclables in Garbage Stream

The data suggests that TrentU has a low ‘mandatory’ recyclable content (i.e. 5.4%) in the combined garbage of the university. The main ‘mandatory’ recyclable material was fine paper. ‘Other Recyclables’ represented 74.0% of the sample and consisted mainly of organics, paper towels, other recyclable paper fibres and LDPE plastic films. Non‐recyclables represented approximately 20.6% of the sample. Figures 5 and 6 summarize the quantity of ‘mandatory’ recyclable materials found in the Peterborough Campus and Durham Campus garbage samples compared to ‘other recyclable’ materials (i.e. organics, paper towels, etc) and ‘non‐recyclable’ materials.

Peterborough Campus had a low ‘mandatory’ recyclable content (i.e. 5.0%) in the combined garbage of the campus. The main ‘mandatory’ recyclable material was fine paper. ‘Other Recyclables’ represented 72.8% of the sample and consisted mainly of organics, paper towels, other recyclable paper fibres and LDPE plastic films. Non‐recyclables represented approximately 22.1% of the sample. Durham Campus had a ‘mandatory’ recyclable content of 8.4% in the combined garbage of the campus. The main ‘mandatory’ recyclable material was newsprint. ‘Other Recyclables’ represented 85.1% of the sample and consisted mainly of organics, paper towels, coffee cups and LDPE plastic films. Non‐recyclables represented approximately 6.5% of the sample.

4 Diversion Programs & Waste Systems 4.1 Waste Diversion Programs

Waste diversion programs have been implemented at TrentU to reduce/reuse/recycle/compost a wide range of materials as described below. Cardboard: Cardboard recycling is provided across campus. Cardboard boxes are flattened and placed in dedicated bins. Cardboard bins at the Peterborough campus and Durham campus are serviced by Progressive Waste and Miller Waste respectively. Mixed Containers: Mixed containers include assorted plastics food and beverage containers (PET, HDPE, LDPE, PP, and PS), aluminum and metal cans, glass food and beverage containers, gable top containers and aseptic containers (i.e. tetra paks, etc). Mixed containers are collected throughout campus in dedicated recycle depots, primarily concentrated in high waste generating areas. Collected materials are disposed into 95 gallon totes by staff and/or students. Totes are serviced at the Peterborough campus and Durham campus by Progressive Waste and Miller Waste respectively. Mixed Papers: Mixed papers include a range of items such items as (but not limited to) newspapers, fine papers, envelopes, magazines, brochures, boxboard, packing paper, shipping/receiving supplies, paper bags and other clean food paper products. Mixed papers are collected throughout campus in dedicated recycle depots, primarily concentrated in high waste generating areas. Collected materials are disposed into 95 gallon totes by staff and/or students. Totes are serviced at the Peterborough campus and Durham campus by Progressive Waste and Miller Waste respectively. Confidential Papers: Confidential papers are collected mainly in office/administrative areas in secure consoles or totes. All shredded materials were recycled. Organics: Organic based food waste is collected in some locations for composting. An organics program is not implemented at the Durham campus. Scrap Metals: Recyclable metals are collected by TrentU staff. Scrap metal recycling service is provided by Progressive Waste as required at the Peterborough campus. Scrap Woods/Pallets: Recyclable woods are collected by TrentU staff. Scrap wood recycling service is provided by Progressive Waste as required at the Peterborough campus. Reusable wood pallets are also returned to suppliers or taken for use off‐property. Oil & Grease: Oil & grease is collected from food service areas across campus, and stored in dedicated containers. Service in 2016 was provided by Sanimax and Rex Services as required at the Peterborough campus and Durham campus respectively.

Electronics Wastes: Electronic wastes are collected across campus and stored in dedicated locations. Service is provided as required. Bulbs & Ballasts: Fluorescent bulbs and ballasts are collected across campus and stored in dedicated totes. Service is provided as required. Batteries: Batteries are collected in small dedicated containers across campus. Collected batteries are stored in dedicated totes. Service is provided as required.

Printer Toner Cartridges: Printer toners are collected across campus and to suppliers for reuse as required.

Yard Wastes: TrentU Durham campus grasscycles which involves leaving yard clippings on‐site after lawn cutting. Donations/Swap Shop: Used material programs are implemented at TrentU including used furniture and clothing donations, as well as the operation of an on‐campus Swap Shop. LCBO/Beer Store Returns: Used liquor, wine and beer bottles are returned to the LCBO/Beer Store. It is unknown how many cases are returned annually. Reduction Programs: TrentU has added a number of waste reduction programs on campus. These include water bottle filling stations, double‐sided printing options on printers/photocopiers and a reusable mug discount program in food service areas. In addition, TrentU started charging $1 for take‐out boat containers, which caused a reduction in the amount of containers used by students. Table 9 summarizes the estimated annual amount of waste materials diverted from landfills due to waste diversion programs implemented at the university (based on latest available annual data).

Therefore, the total amount of waste material diverted from landfill was approximately 1272 metric tonnes. Evidence of annual quantity data obtained from TrentU and/or service providers is provided in Appendix A. Waste diversion programs implemented on campus exceed the minimum requirements of O.Reg.103/94 for educational institutions.

4.2 Waste Disposal Systems

Regular solid non‐hazardous waste is collected across campus by TrentU staff and placed in dedicated bins located in designated waste handling areas. Progressive Waste Solutions services the Peterborough campus (approximately 287.22 MT) and Miller Waste services the Durham campus (approximately 6.70 MT). The total quantity of solid non‐hazardous waste disposed to landfill was estimated to be approximately 293.92 metric tonnes.

4.3 Waste Diversion Rate Waste Diversion Rate is the percentage of waste materials that a facility diverts from landfill due to reduce, reuse and recycling (i.e. 3Rs) initiatives versus the total amount of waste generated (i.e. 3Rs plus disposed). According to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Waste Diversion Rate is calculated as follows:

%100*)3(

GeneratedWasteTotal

RsDivertedWasteTotalRateDiversionWaste

Based on the total annual amount of waste generated and materials reduced, reused and recycled at Trent University, the overall 2016 waste diversion rate was determined to be approximately 81%. Table 10 summarizes the quantities of wastes diverted and disposed. TrentU’s 2016 waste diversion

Overall, capture rates of most materials were quite high ranging from approximately 83% to 100%. Organics and printer toners had the lowest values of 40.5% and 48.9% respectively. The overall capture rate of all recyclables for the overall university was determined to be 90.8%. Capture rates at Peterborough Campus were quite high for most materials ranging from approximately 78% to 100%. Organics and printer toners had the lowest values of 41.3% and 48.4% respectively. Capture rates at Durham Campus were also quite high for most materials ranging from approximately 76% to 100%. Mixed containers had the lowest value of 52.4%.

4.5 Year over Year Change in Waste Generation Waste diversion rate and capture rate do not always demonstrate how effective a site’s 3R programs are operating. This is due to the continual change of many important factors involved in waste and recyclable material generation on campus, such as number of students enrolled, floor area of buildings, etc. As student numbers change or more buildings are added to the campus, quantities of waste and recyclables change making it difficult to have a direct comparison of data between years. It is recommended that TrentU start tracking ‘Year over Year’ changes in the amount of wastes disposed and/or materials recycled per standard unit. This allows direct comparison of data from year to year, thus assisting the university in gaining an understanding of the effectiveness of their waste diversion programs. For TrentU, the most applicable standard unit is Full‐time equivalent students, or FTE. This analysis was also conducted for the overall university.

4.5.1 Year‐over‐Year Change in Diverted Quantities The ‘Year‐over‐Year Change in Diverted Quantities’ is the indicator of the amount of materials diverted from disposal through reduce, reuse and/or recycle activities per FTE compared to previous data. Table 12 summarizes the results for the 2016 year. A positive year‐over‐year change indicates waste diversion programs are improving over time.

Refer to Appendix E and Appendix F for the Waste Audit Summary and the Waste Reduction Work Plan for Durham Campus. The last page of each set of forms in the appendices need to be signed by an authorized person at the University. According to O.Reg. 102/94, the Waste Reduction Work Plans (Appendix D & F) or a summary of the plans must be posted at the University in a place where staff/students can review it. If a summary is posted, the entire Work Plan should also be made available for review by any staff/student upon request.

6 Conclusions & Recommendations

Based on the results of the solid non‐hazardous waste audit conducted for TrentU, the following conclusions can be made. Recommendations presented below are intended to assist TrentU in maximizing their waste diversion potential.

In 2016, it was estimated that TrentU disposed an overall total of approximately 293.92 tonnes of solid waste in landfills. Approximately 1272.10 tonnes of waste materials were diverted through existing waste diversion programs. This represents a waste diversion rate of approximately 81.2%. The provincial objective is 60% diversion to be achieved by 2008.

Waste diversion rates for the Peterborough and Durham campuses were determined to be 81.5% and 58.2% respectively

TrentU maintains waste diversion programs for cardboard, mixed containers, mixed papers, confidential papers, organics, scrap metals, scrap woods, electronics, bulbs, batteries, printer toners, oil and grease, yard wastes, wood pallet reuse, donations/Swap Shop, LCBO/Beer Store returns and waste reduction initiatives including water bottle filling stations, double sided printing

policies, refillable coffee mug program and take‐out boat reductions. These programs exceed the requirements of O.Reg.103/94 for educational institutions.

Overall, TrentU had a low ‘mandatory’ recyclable content (i.e. 5.4%) in the combined garbage of the university. The main ‘mandatory’ recyclable material was fine paper. ‘Other Recyclables’ represented 74.0% of the sample and consisted mainly of organics, paper towels, other recyclable paper fibres and LDPE plastic films. Non‐recyclables represented approximately 20.6% of the sample.

Peterborough Campus had a low ‘mandatory’ recyclable content (i.e. 5.0%) in the combined garbage of the campus. The main ‘mandatory’ recyclable material was fine paper. ‘Other Recyclables’ represented 72.8% of the sample and consisted mainly of organics, paper towels, other recyclable paper fibres and LDPE plastic films. Non‐recyclables represented approximately 22.1% of the sample.

Durham Campus had a ‘mandatory’ recyclable content of 8.4% in the combined garbage of the campus. The main ‘mandatory’ recyclable material was newsprint. ‘Other Recyclables’ represented 85.1% of the sample and consisted mainly of organics, paper towels, coffee cups and LDPE plastic films. Non‐recyclables represented approximately 6.5% of the sample.

Peterborough Campus and Durham Campus generated approximately 90% and 10% of the total waste audit sample weight respectively. Otonabee College, Environmental Science and Champlain buildings generated the most garbage at the Peterborough Campus.

At the Peterborough campus, public areas, classrooms and washrooms generated the most garbage. At the Durham Campus, classrooms, public areas and dining areas generated the most garbage. When considering the overall university, public areas, classrooms and washrooms generated the most garbage.

Overall, capture rates of most materials were quite high ranging from approximately 83% to 100%. Organics and printer toners had the lowest values of 40.5% and 48.9% respectively. The overall capture rate of all recyclables for the overall university was determined to be 90.8%.

Capture rates at Peterborough Campus were quite high for most materials ranging from approximately 78% to 100%. Organics and printer toners had the lowest values of 41.3% and 48.4% respectively. Capture rates at Durham Campus were also quite high for most materials ranging from approximately 76% to 100%. Mixed containers had the lowest value of 52.4%.

Based on the overall waste audit results, it was estimated that approximately 26.1% (or 77 tonnes) of solid waste disposed to landfill consisted of organic materials (i.e. food wastes). Organics were found in relatively high amounts in garbage streams from all functional areas, and especially high in food service/dining areas. An organics compost program exists at TrentU’s Peterborough Campus in some designated areas. The results suggest that an expanded program, improved collection systems, improved signage and/or student/staff education programs may be required to improve the capture rate of this material. It is recommended that the organics program be introduced to Durham Campus. Organics are not a mandatory recyclable material per O.Reg.103/94.

Based on the overall waste audit results, it was estimated that approximately 18.0% (or 53 tonnes) of solid waste disposed to landfill consisted of paper towels. TrentU may wish to investigate the feasibility of implementing a paper towel recycling program at both campuses. Often it can be combined with an existing cardboard and/or organics program depending on hauler requirements. Alternatively, TrentU may wish to investigate the feasibility of replacing paper towels with automatic air dryers and/or reusable linen rolls. Paper towels are not a mandatory recyclable per O.Reg.103/94.

Based on the overall waste audit results, it was estimated that approximately 9.6% (or 28 tonnes) of solid waste disposed to landfill consisted of mixed papers (fine papers, newsprint, boxboard, etc). Office areas, classrooms and public areas generated the highest quantity of mixed papers. A mixed paper recycling program exists at TrentU. This data suggests that better collection systems, improved signage and/or student/staff education programs may be required to improve the capture rate of this material. Fine papers and newsprint are mandatory recyclables per O.Reg.103/94.

Based on the waste audit results, it was estimated that approximately 9.2% (or 27 tonnes) of solid waste disposed to landfill consisted of mixed containers (aluminum cans, glass jars, plastic bottles, tetra packs, milk cartons, etc). Classrooms, public and dining areas generated the highest quantities of mixed containers. A mixed container recycling program exists at TrentU.

The data suggests that better collection systems, improved signage and/or student/staff education programs may be required to improve the capture rate of this material. Glass, aluminum and steel food and beverage containers are mandatory recyclables per O.Reg.103/94.

It is recommended that a study be conducted to verify mixed container and mixed paper tote weights as well as to conduct an inventory of bins on‐campus. It is recommended that the total number of totes picked‐up per week be verified (per season to account for temporal variability).

It is recommended that a study be conducted to verify cardboard weights recycled on‐campus.

It is recommended that a study be conducted to verify organic weights as well to conduct an inventory of bins on‐campus. It is recommended that the total number of totes picked‐up per week be verified.

It is recommended that TrentU conduct studies to add and improve reduction and reuse weights to improve the university’s diversion rate. For example, waste reduction credits can be calculated for the university’s double‐sided printing policy, refillable water bottle stations and clothing donation programs. Tracking of LCBO/Beer Store returns should be kept on file.

Continue to make use of multi‐compartment containers (i.e. recycling depots) for waste collection and recycling as much as possible. Remove all “solitary” waste bins on campus. We recommend only having waste bins that are attached to or close to multi‐compartment recycling containers.

It is recommended that signs be continually updated on all garbage and recycling bins to assist students/staff in sorting wastes easily and correctly. Signs should be easily visible and instructive, such as those having pictograms. Signs are a very effective method of increasing participation, reducing contamination and increasing capture rate.

Ensure TrentU’s Environmental Policy is clearly visible in all common areas throughout campus. Emphasize TrentU’s commitment to environmental stewardship in its newsletters, brochures, annual reports and contracts. Regular newsletters promoting the school’s waste reduction programs, goals and concerns will increase student/staff cooperation.

Continue to increase awareness of current recycling programs through staff and student education programs. Such programs can include brief training programs as well as placement of posters in strategic locations around campus, and posting information regarding campus goals and recycling, reuse, and reduction rates at the school. A suggestion box may be helpful in communicating student/staff concerns and suggestions when developing or changing existing diversion programs.

It is important that all staff and students at TrentU be made aware of all available recycling programs. TrentU staff should provide easy access to contact information for questions and/or help regarding the various recycling programs. The recycling programs should have as much consistency as possible across campus.

Throughout the year, waste should be collected in clear plastic garbage bags instead of black garbage bags. This practice allows cleaning staff to monitor waste collection, as well as to ensure that separated waste streams are disposed of in the correct containers/areas. Some of


20

our clients find it beneficial to use clear bags that have a slight blue tint for use in recycling containers.

Support and encourage the purchase and use of “environmentally friendly”, reusable or recyclable materials and packaging, and/or those that contain recycled content.

In order to be successful, the waste diversion program must have the full support of TrentU’s management team.

According to O.Reg. 102/94, the Waste Reduction Work Plans (Appendix D & F) or a summary of the plan must be posted at the facility in a place where it can be viewed. If a summary of the work plan is posted, the full Work Plan must be made available for review upon request by any of the university’s staff or students.

The waste audit report and waste reduction work plan must be retained on file for a minimum of five years.

A waste audit report and waste reduction work plan must be conducted and updated annually.
