5. Exemplars and case studies<br />

5.1 Molehill Tool 15<br />

The Recycling Council of Ontario developed a Molehill Tool for managers and operators<br />

involved in CRD activity job sites to help facilitate the integration of waste <strong>reduction</strong><br />

planning and execution. This was based on 15 case study sites. The tool is meant to enable<br />

the user to apply waste <strong>reduction</strong> theory into practical use. The Molehill Tool possesses 5<br />

distinct steps: planning, commitment, execution, evaluation, and repetition. The intention is<br />

to develop a site guide for builders.<br />

5.2 Metro Vancouver 16<br />

MetroVancouver includes 24 municipalities in the Vancouver area, and has been quite<br />

actively pursuing CRD diversion opportunities. A Metro Vancouver Business Services<br />

Program provides assistance in reducing and recycling waste generated on CRD sites. This<br />

includes on-site technical assistance, presentations, workshops and information guides. The<br />

program also provides recycling and salvage depots for CRD waste and directories for local<br />

hauling companies.<br />

Several reusable building supply companies that sell reusable building materials have started<br />

up in the area in response to these initiatives.<br />

5.3 Habitat for Humanity Re-stores<br />

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are building supply stores that accept and resell quality new<br />

and used building materials. They generate funds to support Habitat's building programs,<br />
