WASTE DIVERSION IN ONTARIO
The Association of Municipalities of Ontario will run a special
advertising insert in papers across Ontario in November to educate the
public about the province’s mounting garbage woes.

Our goal with these ads was to inspire thought about the waste
that we all create (AMO included) so that we can all do something about
it. These ads are printed and paid for by Ontario’s
newspapers. In Ontario, newspapers compensate municipalities for
recycling and waste disposal costs by offering free advertising. AMO
gets one free advertising insert per year as part of this
arrangement. Each paper controls how they deliver the ads that AMO
creates.

manufacturers to create less waste in the first place:
