Comment
We are writing on behalf of Ecosource to express our concerns regarding the proposed amendments to O. Reg. 391/21 (Blue Box Regulation). Founded in 1979, Ecosource is a leading environmental charity in Peel Region engaging over 20,000 residents in high-quality environmental education annually. Waste reduction education is one of our core programs, delivering curriculum-connected classroom workshops to thousands of students each year. These workshops address contemporary waste issues and support regional waste management objectives.
The attached letter details our concerns in the following areas:
1. Weakened Recycling Standards and Delayed Targets
2. Reduced Service Coverage
3. Public Health and Environmental Risks
4. Negative Impacts on the Education Sector
Thank you for considering our comments. We welcome the opportunity to engage further and would be pleased to provide additional information or clarification as needed.
Sincerely,
Ecosource
