Algonquin Park has implemented an Integrated Waste Management System, throughout the Highway 60 corridor. The Goals and Objectives of the Integrated Waste Management System are:

• Reduce Park generation of waste and exceed provincial waste diversion target of 60%
• Provide convenient opportunities for Park users and Staff Members to participate in diversion programs
• Provide detailed annual reports on waste removal and generation
• Implement best practices to improve efficiency, reduce costs and increase diversion
• Establish Algonquin Park as a Leader in environmentally responsible waste management

All material that is collected using the MOLOK Deep Collection Technology will be collected and processed by the Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre.

At present the Park has 149 MOLOKs in place. In 2009, Algonquin Park installed additional MOLOKs at the Algonquin Art Gallery and the Costello Creek Picnic Area as well as an Organics MOLOK at the Canisbay campground.

In 2009, the park achieved a diversion rate of 38%.  Park staff continues to work towards their goal of 60% diversion of waste from landfill.
