New contract serves to reinforce the fight
against climate change and contribute to Veolia’s mission of
ecological transformation
Veolia announced today that it has been awarded a contract to
assume operations and maintenance of the City of Toronto’s Dufferin
organics processing facility. Since 2014, Veolia has also operated
and maintained Toronto’s other anaerobic digestion facility at
Disco Road, and now will have responsibility for operating and
maintaining Dufferin as well.

These facilities use pre-processing and anaerobic digestion
technology to break down organic material such as residential
source-separated food waste. The waste is used to produce digester
solids which are used to create high quality compost and biogas.
The city then turns the compost and biogas into renewable natural
gas to help fuel its fleet and heat its buildings, thereby reducing
greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 22,000 tonnes per
year.
While the Disco Road facility has a capacity to manage up to
75,000 tonnes of organic waste per year, the Dufferin facility is
designed to convert as much as 55,000 tonnes of organic waste into
energy annually – waste that would otherwise pose a risk of
increasing greenhouse gas emissions if left in a landfill.
“Veolia Canada is proud to continue collaborating with the City
of Toronto on a shared vision for addressing the environmental
challenge of managing organic waste safely and sustainably,” said
Veolia Canada CEO and Country Director Denis Chesseron. “Our
resources and expertise in managing anaerobic digestion operations
are driven by Veolia’s GreenUp strategy for growth and
sustainability, ensuring a cleaner world for future
generations.”
In addition to the City of Toronto's anaerobic digestion
facilities, Veolia Canada operates the City of Edmonton's anaerobic
digestion facility and the City of Montreal's in-vessel composting
operation. Veolia is also in the process of commissioning a new
anaerobic digestion facility for the City of Montreal.
The United Nations and other global organizations have
recognized emissions from food and other organic wastes as a
leading contributor to unacceptable levels of greenhouse gases in
the environment. Over the past decade, the City of Toronto has
emerged as a global leader in using innovative technologies and
solutions for addressing this challenge, investing in
state-of-the-art anaerobic digestion facilities.
