Manitoba is the worst at recycling

I found the CKY article below to be an interesting read.
An excerpt..
"At a time when the rest of Canada is diverting almost one-quarter of its garbage away from landfills, Manitoba has gone in the other direction.
Where the province kept almost 20 per cent of its trash out of dumps in 2002, the latest provincial figures provided to The Canadian Press show only 13 per cent of garbage was diverted in 2006. "
I know we're only a city all of 42,000 but one would hope that our new recycling program will help to take at least a small bite out of that number...
