More materials
accepted as part of new recycling program
A new program
developed by Multi-Material BC (MMBC) is expanding residential recycling in
Nanaimo and throughout the region with more than 10 new materials accepted at
the curbside and others accepted at MMBC Drop-Off Depots starting May
19th.
The new recycling opportunities result from changes to BC’s Recycling
Regulation affecting more than 1.5 million households province-wide. Producers
and consumers of packaging and printed paper (PPP) will pay the cost of
recycling these materials instead of local governments and
taxpayers.
Packaging and printed paper recyclables include most of the
materials already collected for curbside recycling. Materials added as of May
19, 2014 will include milk cartons, aseptic boxes (soup etc.), aerosol cans, and
plastic garden pots and seedling trays.
Starting April 17, Canada Post will deliver the Spring 2014 Waste Line
newsletter to all Nanaimo homes explaining the changes to garbage and recycling
in Nanaimo.
When was the last time a producer didn't pass their increased costs on to the consumer?? Only someone as out of touch with reality as the City would make such a comment. And they think we believe it???
