Industrial, Commercial & Institutional

Waste from business, industries, hospitals, schools, construction, renovation and demolition make up between 50 to 67 per cent of our waste stream.

Industrial, commercial & institutional waste comes from, businesses, large industries, hospitals, schools, construction, renovation and demolition waste. This group makes up the largest part of our waste stream, between 50 to 67 percent.


While recycling and waste reduction programs tend to focus on the residential sector, reducing ICI waste can have a much greater potential for diversion from landfills. 

ICI comprises a wide range of materials, paper, cardboard, plastic, food, and many things in between that could be recycled to be diverted from going to landfills, instead of going into the garage and then to a landfill.

Recycling Process




1. Sort & Ship

Cardboard and paper is sorted and baled, then sent to recycling mills to be made into new products. 



2. Separate by Type

Plastics are separated by type, melted down and made into new products.


3. Compost Food

20 percent of ICI waste is food which can be composted and used to enrich soil with important nutrients.
