Reference Documents & Webcast
Most Notable Changes
For stakeholders familiar with the original BBPP such as stewards and municipalities, the most notable changes to the original plan include the following:
- Expansion of the definition of Printed Paper and Packaging to including printed paper-like products and packaging-like products, e.g., aluminum pie plates, that are compatible with current collection and management systems
- Revisions to the methodology for calculating diversion by including additional quantities of residential waste collected through non-municipal systems, e.g. private sector pick-up at multi-residential buildings and charity drives
- Measures and related costs associated with achieving a recycling rate of 70% by the end of 2011
It also updates the original Plan to reflect subsequent directives from the Minister and all approved changes to the Blue Box Program since the original Plan was approved.
The deadline for submitting comments on the plan is end of day Wednesday, March 3, 2010 (Toronto time).
