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 />
