Posted on March 04, 2026<\/p>\n

A waste management company is proposing to build a new recycling facility for construction and demolition waste in Mississauga.<\/p>\n

\"\"York1 Environmental Waste Solutions Ltd. aims to build the facility at 580 Hazelhurst Rd., an industrial area near Winston Churchill Boulevard and Lakeshore Road, according to a report submitted to the City of Mississauga.<\/p>\n

The company recycles and repurposes recoverable construction and demolition materials, and operates several recyclable materials processing and transfer facilities throughout southern Ontario.<\/p>\n

The proposed Mississauga plant will in part, produce alternative low carbon fuel (ALCF). ALCF is a sustainable, recycled product, produced from construction and demolition wood waste and is used as a replacement for coal. Typical users of ALCF are steel mills and cement factories. ALCF is recognized as a “green” fuel and enables the issuance of carbon credits to users of ALCF.<\/p>\n

The new facility would be located next door to the Ash Grove cement manufacturing plant, which would be the primary recipient of the ALCF produced at this location.<\/p>\n

The plant currently uses coal and petroleum coke as a primary fuel source, meaning ALCF would lead to a direct reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The use of ALCF diverts waste from landfill, recovers resources from this waste and provides a low carbon alternative to coal.<\/p>\n

As well, the Mississauga location provides significant emission reductions relating to both transport of construction and demolition waste generated in Mississauga to distant landfills and importation of coal from far-off mines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Posted on March 04, 2026 A waste management company is proposing to build a new recycling facility for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":514256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194297],"tags":[49,48,55405],"class_list":{"0":"post-514255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mississauga","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-mississauga"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=514255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/514255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/514256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=514255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=514255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=514255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
