The purpose of this Study was to gain an understanding of the composition of the municipal solid waste within the CSRD's four waste sheds.  Information obtained from this study will be extrapolated to determine the overall waste composition for the Golden RDS.  It will be used as a tool for solid waste management planning, including determining any changes in the waste composition since the implementation of expanded stewardship programs in the region, and to identify the improvements and changes in recycling behaviour.
