Landfill doublespeak!

Waste Management is inconsistent between PR material and answers to questions.

PR material both in print and on the official Website states that “the new West Carleton Environmental Centre proposed by Waste Management can achieve 60% diversion of materials away from landfill”. Yet when pressed by the public and city councillors on how this target will be reached and on what schedule Waste Management representatives admit their goal is about 10% diversion with no specific schedule (http://www.yourottawaregion.com/news/local/article/803339--qadri-dumps-on-landfill). Obviously diversion and green jobs are not their top priority; rather just green window dressing.
