Guelph attribute this success to their ever-evolving innovative approaches to waste management, and to a considerable initial promotion and education campaign vigorously directed to all 100,000 inhabitants in their homes, and to all schools, businesses, colleges and universities throughout. Officials and employees of the City of Guelph carry out the operation. No waste is allowed to be collected for delivery to any another facility, especially an incinerator. Nova Scotias economy is primarily based on tourism, IT, fishing, forestry and agriculture. They quickly developed their waste management strategies to avoid the fiscal and environmental costs of incineration, creating six times more jobs in recycling than in incineration.
Active recycling does work successfully in both urban and rural jurisdictions.
The strategy will be implemented throughout the cities and regions of the country, with at least one Material Recovery Facility for each local authority. Under the NWMS, each local authority will establish and operate its own Residual Waste Storage Facility. They will experience first-hand, the effects of NWMS, and they will bear a greater responsibility directly for managing waste and adhering to the directives of the Department of the Environment. No waste is to be delivered to a storage facility directly. All collected waste is to be brought to the recycling facility for inspection and processing as mentioned above section 3.4.
