Recycling Issues

[ijmorlan]

Who else would do recycling?

The Ontario government mandated that the producers of the materials now have to manage the recycling. They already added fees to the packaging for this.

I don’t get it. So I generate a big pile of cans, jars, paper, etc. at my house. What will happen to it?

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that some government program, probably administered by the Region, will still be collecting blue boxes (or rolling carts, picked up by a mechnical arm?). The difference will be that big producers of recyclable materials will help support the system.

Are you aware of different plans? I’ll go out on another, this one extremely sturdy, limb and confidently proclaim that we will never have a situation where each manufacturer sends a truck around to pick up their stuff.
