Waste Management in the City of Montreal
Sign Now
We do not believe that the City of Montreal has been proactive enough in its efforts with recycling, and in reducing the amount of litter cast away by its inhabitants. In 2004, the City of Montreal implemented a Municipal Waste Management Plan which was approved by the Government of Quebec. The plan was intended to recover and reuse 60\% of waste through a series of measures to be implemented by 2008 on the principle of reduction at the source, recovery, reuse and disposal. However since the plan was initially discussed, no concrete action has actually been undertaken concerning the public sector of waste management.
Additionally, the City of Montreal has implemented anti-littering bylaws, stressing fines of up to $1,000 for inhabitants caught littering. Although cleanliness inspectors are expected to issue tickets rather than warnings, the amount of tickets that have been issued for this cause has not increased drastically.
As a result, we are requesting that the City of Montreal take a more assertive approach with recycling and waste management. A new waste disposal system will improve the citys cleanliness and encourage its citizens to recycle. We request the implementation of material division-focused litterbins- dispersed profusely throughout the city- which will promote the ongoing recycling of paper, plastic, and glass. We also request that cleanliness inspectors emphasize the consequences of littering and enforce littering bylaws by searching more proactively for offenders, and issuing hefty fines to prevent littering from reoccurring.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
