LOCATING THE LANDFILLS: Where does your garbage go?

Most Ontario municipalities truck their garbage to waste-management facilities within their own jurisdictions, but some have exhausted local landlls and now ship to other parts of the province or across the border. YORK REGION Trucks 30,000 tonnes of garbage to Niagara Waste Systems landll and 30,000 tonnes of organics to a Massachusetts processing plant.
