A commitment was made in 2021 to expand recycling to schools, multi-unit residential buildings, and long-term care homes.

"Ontario is transitioning to a new Blue Box recycling program where producers, not municipalities, are responsible for the collection and recycling of materials. This shift, part of the province's Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016, means producers will be fully accountable for the costs and operations of the recycling system. The transition is happening over a three-year period from July 1, 2023, to December 31, 2025. By 2026, producers will be fully responsible for the entire recycling process."-Circular Materials

We, the public are not in favor of moving backwards on this. Maintain what we have at the very least. We should be moving forward with greater ability for recycling in our region.
As well as expanding our ability to recycle properly for communities that live in multi-unit resident apartment buildings, restaurants, schools, long term care homes... Green bin programs and pick up should also be available for these units. They are not!
New multi-unit residents are being built, the city is allowing 5 to go up down the street from us... however they will not be collecting green waste and recycling efforts would be rolled back.
This is not a move towards a greener future.
We should be expanding our recycle programs to include textiles and even running shoes! And MORE! This is already available in other regions.
My first Green R is always refuse, if don't need something.... then reduce, reuse, last recycle...
We should be enhancing our existing efforts NOT moving backwards on them!
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
