Attacking Trash with Tech

In Toronto, the city recently spent a whack o' cash (estimated to be as much as $500-million over 20 years) to buy a landfill site a couple hours away. Amid the growing controvery over the financial terms, it struck me there has been little or no talk how technology - both high-tech and low-tech - can play more of a role in dealing with the trash “problem”, which is becoming an issue for large cities across North America. You can read my column on trash and tech in today's National Post.
