MHSW Steward Information Sessions on Regulation 11/12 - March 2012

On March 6 and 7, 2012, Stewardship Ontario held five information sessions on Regulation 11/12, the amendment to Regulation 542/06, which changes the way Stewardship Ontario must recover the cost of managing the Municipal Hazardous and Special Waste (MHSW) program on behalf of Ontario businesses.

Effective April 1, 2012, Regulation 11/12 requires Stewardship Ontario to recover material deficits, as well as ongoing MHSW operating costs on a steward proportionate share basis rather than on the familiar unit/volume basis commonly associated with stewardship programs across Canada.

For general information about what the regulation means as well as what changes and what stays the same for stewards, please review the following documents provided at each information session:

Material-specific information about performance to target, cost per tonne, the accumulated deficit and how it will be calculated please refer to the appropriate material presentation below:
