The Quebec government has set the goal of recovering 65% of residual materials that can be recovered.
Several concrete steps have been taken to encourage the public and businesses to recycle more, including the imposition of a surtax on landfill disposal.

Since July 2006, a surtax of $10 per metric ton has been imposed on all material being directed to landfill centres in Quebec. This tax will be gradually increased and the funds generated by this tax will be redistributed among the municipalities to provide them with the tools to manage and increase recycling.

Quoted from the website of Public Safety Canada:

Minimize your risk of identity theft today. Shred or destroy paperwork you no longer need, such as ATM receipts, receipts from online and credit card purchases, utility bills, and any document that contains personal and/or financial information. Shred or destroy pre-approved credit card applications you do not want before putting them in the trash.
Secure personal information in your home or office so that it is not readily accessible to others who may have access to the premises. Shred or destroy confidential paperwork that are no longer valid.
