Toronto Litter Snapshot

March 31, 2025 5 pages

Description

The City of Toronto (Ontario, Canada) is home to nearly 3 million people living near the shores of Lake Ontario. In 2023, litter traps were installed at three locations in the harbourfront and maintained over a period of five months. These trash capture devices intercepted floating litter and prevented it from flowing farther downstream. The goal? To stop litter in its tracks and raise public awareness about the flow of litter downstream to the ocean.
