According to a recently released data set, what Montreal agglomeration entity (Montreal borough or demerged suburb) recycles the most of its household waste? And which recycles the least?
UPDATE: According to this chart, the most recycle-friendly (on a per-capita basis) is the sparsely-populated Senneville, thanks mostly to organic waste recovery. The most unfriendly is St. Leonard.
My guesses:
the most? Plateau or CDN-NDG?
The least? Île Dorval :)
most? Pointe-Claire.
least? downtown Montreal.
You mean the entire borough or per capita?
If it's the latter, I'd say
most: Plateau or Outremont
least: Montreal-Nord?
If the former... hmm, I guess it's very much correlated with the population size :) So most: Rosemont or CDN/NDG and least: Senneville or Ile-Dorval :)
But it could also be that in a small place like Senneville everyone recycles so their per capita rate would be pretty high.
Most Senneville
Least Downtown
I knew it would be a wealthy suburb, though I'd thought perhaps Côte-St-Luc.
This is funny, as while there is no excusing St-Léonard's poor performance, Senneville households have a far larger environmental footprint, living in huge houses with huge lawns, consuming more stuff simply because they have money (even allowing that affluent people can afford better-quality, more-durable stuff) and above all doing everything they can to keep out public transport, and pollute the rest of us commuting one in a usually-large car.
There is everything in St-Léonard from single-family houses to apartment tower blocks, but a lot of it is duplexes with a granny flat, a much more sustainable urban form.
