OTTAWA — A Chinese ban on most foreign recycling material is leaving some Canadian municipalities with stockpiles of papers and plastics, much of which may eventually end up in the dump.
The ban is also driving down the revenues cities make off their recyclables because the competition to find a company able to take the materials is stiff.
China used to be the main recipient of the world's recyclable plastics and papers but has now stopped accepting almost all foreign materials, leaving Canadian cities in the lurch.
