One of the business environmental problem that faces the Canada localized industry governmental sector is waste management. The local government sector in Canada recorded an operating revenue of 2.3 billion dollars for providing waste management services in 2010. The current expenditure for the country is 2.9 billion dollars (Cahill and Lavergne, 2010). This is equivalent to 86 dollars per person. Historically, the 2010 expenditure for the local government across the country increased by twelve percent from in three years. The costs of collection and transportation represented the largest portion of the current expenses recorded as 1.2 billion dollars, followed by the processing facilities and tipping fees.
The highest expenditure recorded between 2008 and 2010 involve contributions to the maintenance funs and post closure and the operation to recycle the facilities. The only sector with a fall in the current expenditure between the years was operating the transfer stations. The operating costs differed from one Canadian province to the other. The transportation and the collection problem cost the government a total of 36 dollars per person. This represented the largest waste management cost for the provinces. The only province that did not record such a huge amount is New Brunswick, which spent a lot of money on the disposal facilities compared to the transportation and collection (Cahill and Lavergne, 2010). Nova Scotia spent close to equal amount on the transportation and collection as it does for the disposal facilities. For instance, in 2010, the local government recorded an expenditure of 15 dollars person for the disposal facilities, 5 dollars per person for the recycling facilities, and 2 dollars person in the organic processing facilities.
The expenditure for public funds towards the diversion of water differed among the provinces. For instance, Nova Scota spend 8 dollars, New Brunswick spent 13 dollars, Alberta spent 7 dollars, and Ontario spent 6 dollar. When the per capita for the diverted waste is plotted against the per capita total expenditure for the province reveals the relationship between the expenses by the government and waste proportion that is later diverted from the disposal. The local government in Alberta, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia recorded a higher per capita operating expenses compared to the national average of 86 dollars in 2010. Nova Scotia, Quebec, and British Columbia all diverted their waste from the disposal compared to the national average of 236 kg. Manitoba and Saskachewan recorded the lowest per capita expenses as well as the lower diversion rates during the year. The total capital expenditure for the waste management industry by the domestic government recorded a total of 537 million dollars in 2010. The figure is a 9% rise from 2008 (Cahill and Lavergne, 2010). The Nova Scotia, Alberta, New Brunswick, and British Columbia surpassed the nation mean of 16 dollars per capita as a capital expenditure.
