MINIMUM WASTE ® is the premier
          waste management program
        on the continent.
MINIMUM WASTE ® is a comprehensive waste analysis, education and
awareness program that helps customers recognize and benefit from
recycling opportunities.

Our expert staff works closely with customers to evaluate materials in
their waste stream. The MINIMUM WASTE ® program helps businesses
across North America save thousands of dollars, simply by delving
deeper into their waste heaps, identifying recyclable products, and
diverting them from landfill sites.

In 2000, the Recycling Council of Ontario awarded
    MINIMUM WASTE ® with the Outstanding
    Waste Diversion Program
award.

how MINIMUM WASTE® works
Assessing your facilities
METRO's MINIMUM WASTE® professionals will visit your facility
and conduct a comprehensive assessment of your current waste
management program. We may then provide recommendations for improving
recycling procedures and equipment.

    Auditing your waste
      Our staff will perform a detailed assessment of waste generation rates
  within each facility. By physically sorting through your waste, we will:
  • identify recyclables,
  • provide photographs and a detailed breakdown of materials
    in your waste stream, and
  • develop a plan to save you money by diverting recyclables
    from landfill sites.
Promoting your waste reduction program
Metro will provide customized tools to promote your recycling program.
This may include signage and displays to increase awareness of
recycling, or to endorse events such as Earth Day.

Continuously improving your program
We are in business with you for the long term. We will continuously
evaluate your needs to ensure your material recovery program
exceeds your expectations.

MINIMUM WASTE ® binder
Our team will develop a customized binder that provides site specific
reference to the MINIMUM WASTE ® program.
