Introduction to Recycling

The goal of this section is to promote and enhance recycling in Canada by providing information about metals and minerals recycling and recycling in general. The focus of this section is on recycling in Canada, but you will also find information on events taking place outside of Canada, and publications and resources from other countries.

A key feature of this section is the updated Canadian Metals and Minerals Recycling Database, a list of Canadian companies involved in metals and minerals recycling. Is your company in our database? Check out the database to add or change your company's details.
