| | Symmetrical Archaeology: The Garbage Project & "The Archaeology of Us" |
 | | In 1991 a consortium of governments and businesses in Metro Toronto funded the Garbage Project to excavate three landfills and one 1950s “dump.” The resulting Project report estimated that the “Blue Box” curbside recycling program has conserved some 20 percent of landfill space in the Toronto area since it began in 1982. | | | In fact, the Garbage Project’s one sampling bias was an attempt to avoid areas where C/D was concentrated because it could easily disable expensive drilling equipment. | | | To begin a dig, the Garbage Project staff stratifies a selected landfill site by the date and type of refuse depositions; refuse is then systematically collected within sampling strata. |
