WHEREAS local governments are working to reduce, reuse and recycle by providing appropriate and convenient services for use by the public; AND WHEREAS current industry stewardship programs operate independently of each other, with multiple depots in a community, making it difficult for residents to participate: THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the UBCM lobby the provincial government of British Columbia to create legislation and policies directing industries to facilitate the development of one stop depots that accept all industry stewardship products.

Provincial Response

Ministry of Environment The results based model under the Recycling Regulation ensures that producers are able to offer flexible and efficient return collection services for consumers. Although the ministry supports the development of multi-material return collection infrastructure where it makes sense, the regulation does not require producers to develop common collection systems.
