Leaf & yard waste diversion targets in Alberta : a benefit cost analysis

Description

Leaf and yard waste represents a significant component of the municipal solid waste stream generated annually in Alberta. At the time of this report, about 25 per cent of this leaf and yard waste collected as part of the municipal solid waste stream is composted and the remainder landfilled. Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development's Leaf and Yard Waste Diversion Strategy recommends policy tools and options to divert leaf and yard waste away to beneficial use, such as composting. This report evaluates the benefits and costs of leaf and yard waste composting that result from the recommended diversion rates. These benefits and costs are then compared to landfill disposal of leaf and yard waste.
