In Montreal, we toss all of our recycling in a bin at the curb and it gets sorted out later. But in recent years, we’ve seen headlines about recycling piling up and the difficulties of finding markets for certain materials like paper and glass. So is our recycling system working? We take you on a tour of a sorting centre and hear about some big changes on the horizon. *After this episode was released, the City of Montreal provided some updated figures. Currently, between 15 and 20 per cent of material at the Lachine sorting centre ends up in the landfill. Previously the city had said the rejection rate was 30 per cent.
