Executive Summary:
In a resolution passed on June 24, 2002. Council opposed an application by Can-Sort
Recycling Limited, 1048 Toy Avenue, to amend its Certificate of Approval to convert to
a transfer station, increase the tonnages received and removed from the site, accept
residential waste and allow for outdoor storage of recyclables.
Can-Sort Recycling has revised its application by deleting the outdoor storage and
residential waste elements, however, staff still have serious concerns with respect to
traffic that will be generated by the increased usage of the site. For this reason, staff
recommend that Council continue to oppose the application as revised.
Report CL 34-02 Date: October 2, 2002 (~.]. 3
Subject: Can-Sort Recycling Limited Page 2
Financial Implications: Not applicable
Background:
In a letter dated May 22, 2002, the Ministry of the Environment and Energy advised the
City that it had received an application from Can-Sort Recycling Limited, 1048 Toy
Avenue, to amend their Certificate of Approval to convert to a transfer station, increase
the tonnages received and removed from the site, accept residential waste and allow
for outdoor storage of recyclables.
Council passed the following resolution at its regular meeting of June 24, 2002 with
respect to this application:
1. That Clerk's Report CL 25-02 regarding the application by Can-
Sort Recycling Limited, 1048 Toy Avenue, for an amendment to
their Certificate of Approval No. A 390421 be received; and
2. That the Council of the Corporation of the City of Picketing
hereby opposes the said application.
3. That the Director be requested to hold a hearing under Section
3;2, Part V of the Environmental Protection Act regarding this
application,
4. That a copy of Clerk's Report CL 25-02 be forwarded to the
Director, Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch,
Ministry of the Environment and Energy.
In a letter dated June 28, 2002, the Regional Commissioner of Planning advised the
Ministry of the Environment and Energy that the Region supports the above resolution
primarily based on increased traffic generation at the Bayly Street/Toy Avenue
intersection and requested the Ministry to have the applicant undertake a transportation
study that addresses the potential impact of the facility expansion on the adjacent
Regional Road system.
In a letter dated August 26, 2002, the Ministry advised the City that Can-Sort had
revised its application by deleting the outdoor storage and residential waste elements.
The Director, Planning & Development and the Division Head, Municipal Property &
Engineering have reviewed the revised application and their comments can be
summarized as follows:
Report CL 34-02 Date: October 2, 2002
Subject: Can-Sort Recycling Limited Page 3
Due to site area limitations, the current operation involves the Quartz Street road
allowance as an integral part of its truck maneuvering activity. Any increase in
waste volume for this operation will bring a corresponding increase in truck
movements on Quartz Street.
The Region of Durham should be requested to review and comment on the
capacity of the Bayly Street/Toy Avenue intersection and the impact of additional
truck traffic.
· The applicant should be requested to undertake a traffic impact study that will
address the expected increase in traffic generated by the amendment in
conjunction with other surrounding developments.
· Although the applicant has indicated that tractor-trailers are pre-booked to avoid
unnecessary delays and queuing on Quartz Street, the receiving of loads cannot
be so easily controlled and a backlog could result in vehicles waiting on Quartz
Street to be serviced.
A representative of Can-Sort Recycling attended at the Council Meeting of September
17, 2002 to provide Members of Council with an overview of their application for
amendment to the Certificate of Approval. I have attached to this Report a copy of their
letter dated September 17, 2002 that was provided to Members of Council.
In summary, staff continue to recommend that City Council oppose the application by
Can-Sort Recycling Limited under such time as the City and the Region are satisfied
that increased traffic generation at the Bayly Street/Toy Avenue intersection and
vehicle maneuvering on Quartz Street are addressed.

Subject: REVISION
Amendment to The Ministry of Environment & Energy
Certificate of Approval
Can-Sort Recycling Ltd.
1048 Toy Avenue
City of Pickering
We have completed a preliminary review of the matter described above. It is our
understanding that the applicant has modified its proposed amendment to the existing
Certificate of Approval, by deleting the outdoor storage and residential waste elements of
the proposal.
Although the elimination of the outdoor storage component is desirable, any increase in
waste volumes will intensify handling operations on the site. Our principal concern remains
that, due to. the functional limitations of the site area and extensive building coverage,
limited area for vehicle manoeuvring is available.
We understand that, due to site area limitations, the current operation involves the Quartz
Street road allowance as an integral part of its truck manoeuvring activity. Any increase in
waste volume for this operation will bring a corresponding increase in truck movements on
Quartz Street. The use of Quartz Street for this purpose is inappropriate and will cause
additional traffic conflict in the future when Quartz Street is extended to serve vacant
industrial lands to the east.
As a consequence, the Planning & Development Department does not support an increase
in waste volume at Can-Sort Recycling's 1048 Toy Avenue site, as proposed in this
modified amendment request.

Subject: - Can-Sort Recycling
- 1048 Toy avenue
- Application to Amend Certificate of Approval
Please be advised that staff of the Municipal Property & Engineering Division have
reviewed the application to amend the Certificate of Approval for Waste Disposal sites
related to the Can-Sort Recycling Facility located at 1048 Toy Avenue, Pickering. Staff
have also received and reviewed documentation submitted by Can-Sort Recycling
dated September 17, 2002 supporting their application.
Staff provide the following comments with respect to the application, specifically related
to operational issues, as the request for outdoor storage and receiving of residential
waste has been removed from the application.
1. The comment regarding increased traffic as outlined in the memo dated June 17,
2002 has not been satisfied. Currently, the Region of Durham does not have an
existing traffic count for the intersection of Bayly Street and Toy Avenue. It is not
known what the level of service for this unsignalized intersection is, nor whether
traffic control signals are currently warranted.
The Region of Durham should be requested to review and comment on the
capacity of the intersection and the impact of the proposed additional truck-
traffic.

2. Can-Sort Recycling has provided background information on existing truck traffic
and traffic generated when they had an emergency Certificate of Approval during
the garbage strike. It has been indicated that the latter would reflect proposed
traffic volumes under the amended Certificate of approval. Incoming traffic
increased from 43 to 63 vehicles (47% increase) and outgoing traffic increased
from five to seven (5-7) vehicles (40% increase) compared to the last six months
of data. It should be noted that daily totals exceeded 90 vehicles on six of the 16
operating days during the Toronto garbage strike. City staff reviewed traffic
operations on one morning during that time period and did report no adverse
impact on roadway operating conditions at that time.
The expected increase in traffic generated by the amendment in conjunction with
other surrounding developments and increases in background traffic are
significant enough to warrant that the applicant prepare a traffic impact study.
3. The documentation indicates that large trailers used to remove material actually
back into the site from Quartz Street or from the vacant property on the south
side of Quartz Street across from the site. This may function adequately now,
but in the future, should Quartz Street be extended and/or the vacant property be
sold, the movements on Quartz Street fronting the building will cause delays and
potential safety hazards.
4. The applicant indicated that the tractor-trailers are pre-booked to avoid
unnecessary delays and queuing on Quartz Street, and this commitment must
continue. However, the receiving of loads cannot be so easily controlled and a
backlog could result in vehicles waiting on Quartz Street to be serviced.

4. Currently: - maximum amount of material stored on-site shall not exceed 400
tonnes
Amend to: - maximum amount of material stored on-site shall not exceed 600
tonnes
Reason: An increase in incoming waste requires an increase in the storage
capacity limit to accommodate a work stoppage due to equipment failure.
5. Currently: - site shall receive a maximum of 300 tonnes of waste per day
Amend to: - site shall receive a maximum of 400 tonnes of waste per day
Reason: - The closure of the Keele Valley Landfill at the end of the year and
increased development in Durham Region will result in more waste which must be
handled by local waste transfer stations.
6. Currently: - amount of residual waste generated from this facility shall not exceed
199 tonnes per day
Amend to: - amount of residual waste generated from this facility shall not exceed
299 tonnes per day
Reason: - Maximum allowable outgoing waste limit not requiring an
Environmental Assessment.
AI'TACHMENT # ~_..~__TO REPORT #~ 3v- o
ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS 0 2 1
(29) (a) Currently: - Once, every seven (7) days, the Company shall remove
all waste and materials from the Site's tipping floor.
Remove Condition
Reason: - After the mess created by Ever Green Recycle Canada in 1997
this restrictive condition was added. We feel that Can-Sort Recycling Ltd. has
proven over the last 5 years that we are capable of running an efficient clean waste
processing facility and therefore this --condition should be dropped.
ADDRESSING CITY OF PICKERING CONCERNS
TRAFFIC ON TOY AVENUE
The Operations & Emergency Services Dept. recommended that a trip generation and
traffic assessment be conducted because they are concerned that an increase in traffic to
our site would cause delays at the intersection of Bayly St. and Toy Ave. which may
interfere with access to the Tim Horton's Donuts. Although we felt that the vehicles using
our facility did not significantly impact on the traffic problem, at that intersection, we
decided last week to conduct a survey. Over the same 12 hour span from 6:00 AM to 6:00
PM we calculated that an average of 148 vehicles per hour entered Tim Horton's Donuts
off of Toy Avenue and 5 vehicles per hour entered the Can-Sort site. Even with an increase
to 8 vehicles per hour we question whether an increase of 2% of Tim Horton's business,
constitutes a major impact. We don't expect that development on Toy Avenue will now be
frozen because of the current expansion of the gas station property next to Tim Horton's
and the need to accommodate business development in the future.
TRAFHC FLOW AT CAN-SORT
The Planning & Development Dept. has the opinion that our site currently functions at
capacity. We feel that the site is under utilized. Therefore, there is a wide gap in how we
both view the operation of the facility.
Looking at this question mathematically, we can comfortably handle 5 vehicles at one
time, 3 vehicles in the facility and 2 vehicles waiting to back up into the plant. The average
mm around time yesterday for drivers to dump their loads was 9 minutes. Therefore,
turning over 5 vehicles every 9 minutes results in 33 vehicles per hour. A great deal more
than the 5 we currently service.
~-'~TTACHMENT# q__TO REPORT# ~z 3¢- ~ ~
0 ?-. 2With very little notice Can-Sort was able to handle the additional waste caused by the
Toronto Garbage Strike. In fact, when many transfer stations were struggling to keep up,
we were receiving waste from haulers that determined that our site was the best solution
for keeping their operations moving.
Attached is a letter from National Waste Services which claims that our site offers the best
mm around time of all the tranfer stations in Durham Region. Also, drivers today signed a
petition, which states that they don't experience line-ups and delays at our site.
We invite your staff to come to our site and monitor traffic flow. I think they will find that
the cooperation and experience of our staff and the waste haulers leads to a smooth
functioning operation.
ODOURS~ ANIMALS & OUTDOOR STORAGE
In an effort to diminish the concerns of the City of Pickering, we asked the Ministry of the
Environment to remove Residential Waste and Outdoor Storage from our Amendment
Application.
CONCLUSION
In 1998 Can-Sort Recycling applied for changes to it's Certificate of Approval and was
met by considerable opposition from the City of Pickering. We said that we are not Ever
Green, the failed company that created a mess at the site, we were only the landlord. The
overriding message from council at that time was that we can only support your
development once you have established a track record by operating a good facility tbr the
next few years.
We feel that we have now paid our dues. We have spent money to upgrade our equipment,
spent money on the facility by pouring 2 ft. thick concrete walls throughout the plant with
bunkers for recyclables and increased staff to recycle more materials such as drywall. At
the same time we were operating in compliance with C. of A. guidelines. We even
managed to make peace with most of our neighbours by keeping our surrounding area
clean and by controlling odours.
This C. of A. Amendment Application was intended to allow us to operate within full
compliance as Durham Region grows and to prepare for changes created by the closure of
the Keele Valley Landfill.
It is hoped that the City of Pickering can work with us so that we can operate a first rate
facility to handle the waste management challenges of the future.

RE: Traffic at Can-Sort
We have been dealing with Can Sort Recycling for over three years, and drop off
approximately 10 loads of waste per day. In all that time we have never experienced any
delays. The staff is very courteous in assisting our drivers to offload our trucks,
preventing any delays.
We believe that Can Sort has the best turn around time in the Durham Region.

BACKGROUND:
Please find attached to this Report a letter from the ~ of the Environment and Energy
dated May 22, 2002 advising that they have received an application from Can-Sort Recycling
Limited, 1048 Toy Avenue, to amend their Certificate of Approval No. A390421 to convert to a
transfer station, increase the tonnages received and removed from the site, accept residential
waste and allow for outdoor storage of reeyelables. Attached to the letter is a more detailed
summary of what is being requested by Can-Sort Recycling Limited.
Also attached to this Report is a memorandum from the Director, Planning & Development
wherein it is noted that the current site currently experiences functional restrictions with respect
to truck traffic and that the amendment provides for outside storage whereas the current site plan
recognizes that all activity at this site would be contained within the existing building. Based on
these concerns, the Dkector has recommended that Council oppose this application.
Also attached to this Report is a memorandum from the Division Head, Municipal Property &
Engineering indicating that the proposed amendment would have a major impact on traffic on Toy
Avenue and Quartz street and also a major impact on businesses using the intersection of Toy
Avenue and Bayly Street. The addition of residential waste would create problems for the area
businesses due to odours and animals.
In 1998, Can-Sort Recycling Limited made application to amend the same Certificate of Approval
to increase the maximum metric tonnage of solid non-hazardous waste received per day from 150
to 750 metric tomes, increase the site storage of waste from 250 to 1,000 metric tonnes and to
accept solid non-baTardous institutional waste. Council strenuously opposed this application in
1998 and I have attached four resolutions that were passed by Council in 1998 setting out its
objections.
Based on the foregoing, I would again recommend that Council oppose this current application to
amend the Certificate of Approval submitted by Can-Sort Recycling Limited and request that a
Hearing be held under the Environmental Protection Act as noted in the letter dated May 22,
2002 from the Ministry of the Environment and Energy.

. PROVISIONAL CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL .
FOR A WASTE DISPOSAL SITE NO. A390421
APPENDIX D; OPERATION8 REPORT
Following is a breakdown of site maintenance and operations at Can-Sort Recycling:
· Can-Sor~ Recycling accepts solid non-hazardous industrial, commercial & industrial
waste and recyclables from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday and 7:00 am to
1:00 pm Saturday.
Amendment would permit acceptance of residential waste.
·Each morning the Plant Manager conducts a visual inspection of the plant and the
site.
When a vehicle arrives at the site it is weighed and intbrmation on the haul~ is
entered on the Weighscale Ticket, such as Customer, Hauler, Truck No., License No.,
Vehicle Size and Vehicle Type.
· The Spotter determines what the hauler is dumping before directing the driver to
dump the load on the tipping floor or in one of the bunkers.
· The Spotter visually inspects the load for hazardous waste. If such waste is found in
the load, it would be immediately reloaded back on the vehicle.
· The Material Type is entered on the Weighseale Ticket, the vehicle is weighed and
· the driver signs the ticket authorizing that all information is correct.
Source separated recyclables are dumped in the designated bunkers.
Reeyelables spotted in the mixed waste piles on the tipping floor are hand picked and
dumped in the bunkers.
A 644H John Deere Loader is then used to push residual waste into the waste pile.
Amendment would permit residential waste and mixed waste identified on the
tipping floor as lacking suitable recyelables, to be transferred into the waste pile for
shipping to landfills.
Recyctables in bunkers are loaded into 40 cu.yd, bins and tail]ed in the plant before
being weighed and hauled to end-users.
· Amendment would allow full bins of sorted clean recyclables to be Covered and
placed outside, within the perimeter of the fenced site, to await shipment. The
location of the bins is indicated on tho previous page.
· Open top trailers back into a pit where a 270L John Dm, re Excavator is used to load
the waste.
: Trailers are untarped and tarped inside the facility.
Trailers are weighed before and after being loaded to determine the weight &waste
they.will be carrying. Information regarding the shipper, hauler and destination of the
waste is entered on a Manifest.or Bill of Lading.
Sealehouse staffis responsible for filling out Incoming and Outgoing Tally Sheets to
confirm that we operate within tonnage limits.
Toward the end &the day a general cleanup of the plant, site, sealehouse, washrooms
and maintenance mom is conducted, including sweeping the floors. A more intensive
cleanup takes place on the weekend when thoro is little vehicle traffic,
· Amendment, to remove Condition (29) (a), would permit a neat waste pile on the
floor, so that waste would be available for the next trailer.
· Facility is equipped with one odour control system complete with twenty spray
nozzles, operating at a liquid flow rate of 15.6 millilitres per second, exhausting into
the atmosphere through two exhaust fans each with a volumetric flow rate of 8.5
actual cubic metres per second through a louve, having an exit diameter of 1.07
metres, located at 9.5 metres above grade and 1,5 metres below the roof.
· ' Ifa particularly odourous load arrives we load it immediately into a trailer ifoue is in
the pit or we manually increase the spray duration and bury the load until the next
trailer is available.
· Lloyd's Pest Control resets traps once a month to control vermin.
APPENDIX D: DRAINAGE
· If the sprinkler system is required to put out a fire, a holding tank is located in the
facility to accept this liquid. Can-Sort Recycling would then hire a MOE licensed
liquid industrial waste processor to pump out the tank.
· The floor of the facility contains 6 inches of poured concrete.
· Outside the site is entirely covered in asphalt with a poured concrete curb around the
perimeter.

Director, Planning & Development
Subject: Application for Amendment to
The Ministry of Environment and Energy
Certificate of Approval No. A390421
Can-Sort Recycling Ltd.
Part of Lot 18, Concession 1
1048 Toy Avenue
City of Pickering
This Department has comPleted an initial review of the above-noted matter. It is our
understanding that the applicant seeks Ministry approval to increase the amount and type
of waste processed on-site, and to add outdoor storage of reeyclables as a permitted
activity. Based on this understanding and our concerns respecting functionality of the
site, it is recommended that City Council oppose the applicant's request for revision to
the Ivlinistry of Environment and Energy's Certificate of Approval pertaining to the
subject site.
Increased processing limitations for the site will 'likely increase truck traffic to a site that
currently has several site function restrictions. The large size of the building in relation
to the lot area, severe limitation of on-site maneuvering space, substantial track traffic
and periodic occurrences of unapproved outdoor storage all contribute to the opinion that
the site currently functions at capacity. Based on the limited information available for
review respecting the proposal, we cannot provide support for any expansion in use of the
facility.
~, 2002
Page 2
I am not awa~e of any pre-consultation between the applicant and the City respecting this
proposal, certainly not with the Planning. & Development Department. It is possible that
further discussions between the City and the applicant could provide a better
understanding of the application and lead to a more positive Departmental response.
Revisions to the approved site plan and / or proposed site operations could potentially
bring some level of support for elements of the applicant's request. The proposal may
also require a peer review from a consultant well versed in waste management matters, to
assist Council in formulating its position.
The following comments are provided for your consideration.
Proposal
Can-Sort Recycling Ltd. has applied for an amendment to the Ministry of Environment
and Energy (MOEE) Certificate of Approval which is applicable to the waste processing,
recycling and transfer facility that operates at 1048 Toy Avenue (there are two buildings
on the property at 1048 Toy Ave. - this certificate pertains to the portion of the site and
the building that fronts on the north side of Quartz Street). A map identifying the
location of the site in question is attached.
The current Certificate of approval, which was'Originally issued in 1992 and revised in
1998, permits Can-sort to process commercial and industrial non-hazardous waste
(primarily constmction waste), to remove reeyclables such as scrap metals, cardboard and'
wood. Residual waste, once the recyelables are removed, is then shipped to approved
landfills.
The current request is generally to increase the amount and type of waste processed on-
site, and to add outdoor storage of recyclables as a permitted activity. Planning'&
Development Staff are not aware of any r~trictions on the source of the residential waste
proposed to be Processed on site. It is our understanding that the proposal may be to
accept waste from any source within the Province. City Council has previously
expressed concerns respecting a Picketing facility accepting waste from outside
Picketing / the Region of Durham.
It is our understanding, from information obtained from the Ministry of Environment and
Energy WEB site and discussions with Ministry Staff that the proposed amendments to
the current Certificate of Approval are as follows:

Official Plan and Zoning
The property is located in the Brock Industrial Area within an area designated
General Employment Area by the Picketing Official Plan. Warehousing, storage of
goods and materials~ waste transfer and recycling, waste processing, and fi:eight transfer
uses are permitted in the General Employment Area. The current use of the property, and
the proposed changes to the use which would result from the requested amendments to
the Certificate of Approval, conform to the policies of the Picketing Official Plan.
The property' is zoned "MC-6" - Associated Industrial by Zoning By-law 2511, as
amended by By-law 2234/86. This zoning permits manufacturing or industrial uses, as
well as warehouses and distribution depots, light manufacturing plants for the processing
of goods and materials, and outdoor Storage in any yard, except the front yard, s6 long as
the area used for outdoor storage does not exceed 30 percent of the area of the lot. The
current use of the property, and the proposed changes to the use which would result from
the requested amendments to the Certificate of Approval, comply with the applicable
zoning by-law.
Site Plan
There is currently an approved site plan, S35/88 (R 95), which governs the subject
property.
The approved site plan allows for tracks to access and exit the site in an orderly manner
based on traffic flow information available at the time of site plan approval. The building
on the site is quite large in comparison to the lot area. This design recognized the
applicant's proposal to contain all acti~ty within the building, with most all remaiuing
site area utilized and required for track manoeuwing. Consequently, despite the fact that
limited outdoor storage is permitted by the zoning by-law, the site plan did not identify or
permit any outdoor storage bins.
The subject site currently exhibits functional restrictions. The site cannot contain all
vehicle activity associated with the operation. Currently the operation requires that
trucks back up on Quartz Street (a City public street), to enter the building and load
material. An increase in the waste processing limits may require queuing of tracks on
Quartz Street, resulting in traffic and environmental problems. Further, the large
coverage of the building on the lot leaves very limited area for the provision of buffering
fi:om adjacent uses.
The Certificate of Approval issued.by the MOEE establishes limitations on site activities.
Any expansion to the amount of materiai received, shipped, processed and / or stored on-
site will increase site activity on a site that is akeady very confined.

Ministry staff advised that the City may request an extension of time to respond to the
requested revision to the Certificate of Approval applicable to the site. However, the
Ministry may not consider such a request if it results in a significant time delay.

MEMORANDUM
June 17, 2002
To: Brace Taylor.
City Clerk
From: Richard Holbom
Division Head, MuniciPal Property & Engineering
Subject: Application for Amendment to Certificate of Approval
Can-Sort Recycling Limited, 1048 Toy Avenue.
This is in response to your memo dated June 5, 2002 requesting comments on Can-Sort's
application for the Ministry of the Envirormaent to amend their certificate of approval to:
1.) convert to a transfer station
2.) increase tonnages received and removed ~om the site
3.) accept residential waste
4.) allow for outdoor storage ofrecyclabtes
The Municipal Property & Engineering Division provides the following comments on
their application.
The increase of tonnages and conversion to a transfer station indicate that track traffic to
and from the'site, using Quartz Street and Toy Avenue will increase. Delays at the
intersection of Toy Avenue and Bayly Street, which is unsignalized, will cause traffic
impacts for other businesses on the street and may interfere with access to the Tim
Horton's on the comer of Toy Avenue and Bayly Street. A trip generation and .traffic
impact assessment is required to be submitted for review to determine if the amendment
can be supported, and if improvements are required in the form of traffic signals or
otherwise.
Bruce Taylor June 17, 2002
Subject: Application for Amendment to Certificate of Approval
Can-Sort Recycling Limited, 1048 Toy Avenue Page 2
It is our interpretation that the existing Certificate of Approval allows for 300 tonnes of
waste to be accepted per day, 199 tonnes of waste to be removed per day and 400 t°nnes
of storage at any one time. Outside bin storage is not allowed. The amendment is to add
100 tonnes of incoming waste daily and 200 tonnes of onsite storage. The application is
not clear on whether an increase of waste removal is being applied for, and what form the.
outdoor storage will take and what mount will be stored outdoors. Additional
information is required in order to comment on this aspect. It should be noted that the site
is small (0.80 hectares) and traffic flow through the site is limited and difficult. A.rev/sed
site plan to indicate the flow of traffic and site storage location (s) is required before any
· increases can be supported
Due to the proximity and nature of surrounding businesses, the addition of residential
waste is not recommended. Issues due to odours, animals etc. will be apparent and will
affect neighbouring properties.
Outdoor bin storage was removed from the 1998 application to the Ministry of the
Environment for a Certificate Approval due to concerns frottuhe City of Pickering. Due to
the size' of the site, and its configuration with adjacent properties, the outdoor storage is
still not appropriate.
