On the road to recovery of recyclables that is
All you conscientious people separating recyclables and organics from your garbage are making progress.Residential waste diversion in ontario stands at almost 40 per cent and is rising.
Businesses aren't doing so well.The province's industrial, commercial and institutional sectors, which account for more than 60 per cent of ontario's waste, divert just 13 per cent from landfill.And that percentage is slipping.
There are folks out there, though, who are trying to offer companies attractive diversion options, which can compete with cheap landfill.Smith, that household name for jams, jellies and pie fillings based on the niagara peninsula, sought burke out.They quickly signed a contract, burke found some warehouse space at pearce cartage in hamilton, and in doublequick time had pearce start picking up the recyclables.
Burke pays the food products manufacturer from 2 cents to 6 cents a pound for the plastics and fibre he has trucked to his steeltown space.His company, which employs about 45, already has operations in moncton, granby, que., and North Bay.Smith:
Plastic ingredient pails:Burke's part of the warehouse has a distinctly garlic aroma.Most of the pails go to a quebec manufacturer, where they're turned into new pails.
Shrinkwrap:Tonnes are shipped to el salvador to be made into more lowdensity polyethylene film or laminate flooring.
Supersized sacks:Used to ship
Louis Vuitton Bags uk a ton each of sugar.Burke redeploys these for collecting and storing recyclables.Damaged sacks can be turned into polypropylene scraps for making textile.
Plastic bags for salt and plastic liners for the super sacks:They also go to el salvador.Manufacturers, including trex company, which makes plastic wood products, also buy the film.
Plastic strapping:It's made of pet, the same as drink bottles.Burke sells it to dealers for offshore markets.
Fibre products:Such as cardboard and paper, are recycled in canada.
Giant cardboard boxes:Called gaylords, they are reused.
Burke is of the view that"Everything is recyclable. "He has found markets for all kinds of plastics, including agricultural wrap, fishing nets and rope, mixed plastics, singleuse grocery bags and expanded polystyrene(Styrofoam).
"There's huge demand out there,"He says. "My time is spent trying to acquire material, and, ironically enough, 90 per cent of it is going into landfill. "
Burke ended up in the recycling business after a chance conversation back in 1997 with one of his sons' high school football coaches. (All three of his boys attended university on football scholarships. )
He had started out training and transporting race horses at his windsor raceway stable.When his transportation business expanded, he and his family moved to florida, but returned to windsor after he sold his company and, as he says, could have retired.
The volunteer coach had a peanut factory and about 60, 000 burlap bags to get rid of. "He told me he was going broke putting them in the landfill.

Burke, who had meanwhile developed computer expertise, searched the internet and found someone in maryland who sold burlap bags to the oyster industry.The fellow would pay him 25 cents a bag.Burke had to argue with the coach to take at least 5 cents a sack.
Obviously, there was money to be made in recycling.When the peanut factory switched from burlap to gaylords, burke, who had acquired a truck and baler, began looking for other opportunities.One day, he was delivering paint to a plastic car bumper manufacturer, where he noticed a container of defective product destined for landfill.
He was told he could have the bumpers for free. "So i did my research and found out they were a valuable commodity. "That put burke onto plastics.
Having learned from the ground up about recycling, burke has some strong opinions, including some harsh
