- In 2019 alone, 61,500 tonnes of material was collected through the Blue and Black Bin programs from single-family homes and multi-residential properties.
- Recycling from single family homes and multi-residential properties in 2019 generated $6.69 million in revenue, which was used to offset program costs.

- The City’s owned and operated landfill is expected to be full by 2041.
