Do you know
about the upcoming changes to The Blue Box Program?
Under the
Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016, Ontario’s Blue Box
Regulation shifts
responsibility for the Blue Box Program from the Municipality to the
organizations that produce products and packaging. Under the old
system, communities shared the costs.
Starting July 1,
2023, communities began transitioning their Blue Box programs to this
new extended producer responsibility framework, where producers are
responsible for funding and operating the recycling system.
Once the
transition to the new framework is complete in 2026, producers will
be fully accountable and financially responsible for recycling the
products and packaging that end up in recycling bins.
What does this
mean for you? Here
is the link to the Recycling in Ontario website.

is the Town of Parry Sound's garbage and recycling
site
We'll share
more information from the Municipality as we receive it.
