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.

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.
