4 Other Residential Recycling Programs

4.1 White Goods

Since 1991, white goods, such as fridges, stoves, air conditioners, washers, dryers, freezers dishwashers, etc. have been restricted from landfill disposal. In 2019, curbside collection of white goods from County municipalities captured 1,738 white good units (approximately 156 tonnes).

While the City of Windsor did not operate a white goods collection program during 2019 there were also 193 tonnes of white goods delivered to the Public Drop Off Depots for a combined total of approximately 349 tonnes. Using the Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA) Municipal Datacall residual percentage of 20%, approximately 279 tonnes of white goods were recycled and diverted. Table 8 details the white goods collection program for each of the municipalities in the County of Essex by month during 2019.
