This statistic displays the volume of waste that has been diverted in Nova Scotia in 2012, by type of material. During this year, some 4,729 metric tons of ferrous metals were diverted from entering the waste stream. The overall amount of waste generated in Canada has increased, however, recycling rates have also increased across most of the country.

* This information covers only those companies and local waste management organizations that reported non-hazardous recyclable material preparation activities and refers only to that material entering the waste stream and does not cover any waste that may be managed on-site by a company or household. Additionally, these data do not include those materials transported by the generator directly to secondary processors, such as, pulp and paper mills while bypassing entirely any firm or local government involved in waste management activities.
** Paper fibers include newspring, cardboard and boxboard, and mixed paper.
