I stay with my daughter over the winter in Greensville.
Incineration non recyclables was threatened last year.
This would be devastating to the area, 2 waterfalls that are packed with tourists are right next door to Carmouse.
There are many conservation areas in the area.

As a resident of the Greensville community, this amendment will allow burning of materials that increase the hazardous pollutants within the direct local community air.

Please do not implement the June 4th amendments for the regulation. Instead amend the regulation to encourage producers to focus on reuse (the circular economy) and recycling. A great reuse example is a producer who provides reusable food containers for eateries and stores.

I am significantly concerned at the amendment that would allow energy recovery to count towards diversion.
I am also concerned about the low target and long timelines being proposed for proper recycling.

My concern is around the delay of including apartments in recycling collection. Ontario has a goal of increasing housing density which includes building more apartments.

I feel Strongly Against ( energy recovery ) by combustion.
I fear that the toxins from combustion are far worse than hazards presented by landfill.
Agains the proposal !!

Mr. Ford, why do you continually put the interests of the business community ahead of the interests of the citizens of Ontario? We need to keep the businesses that use these containers and packaging to be responsible for the recycling of the materials.

I live in Greensville since 1999. Please protect our air, my asthma medication is very expensive, almost as much as my property tax. Yet still I have to fight for clean air to breathe. Please reconsider the program. Thank you.
Delaying the deadline hurts Ontarians. Producers may be facing increased costs but the amendment ignores the increased revenues that producers have also had. Coca cola, one of the largest producers and polluters had net revenues increase by 6% last year.
Imposing a time limit for First Nations to register with the Blue Box Transition Process is problematic and raises significant concerns. These challenges stem from not only systemic inequities but also from practical obstacles that could undermine the success and fairness of such initiatives.

If you eliminate blue box recycling program for small businesses that either do not have room for commercial bins or the funds you will simply have more litter and illegal dumping taking place. This is a great program accessible for small businesses and should under no circumstance be eliminated.
We need producers to become responsible for the waste associated with their products. The public should not be taking on this burden. It is disappointing that the government is stepping back from this idea and looking for the easiest option - more landfill.
Please do the right thing

I am strongly opposed to section 6. I do not feel the diverting waste/recycling to burn as an alternate fuel source is a reasonable/responsible solution to our waste problem.

Here’s why these proposed changes to Ontario’s recycling program—delaying recovery targets and removing planned expansions—are problematic:
• Slower Progress on Waste Reduction and Recycling

Taxpayers should not be paying for the waste manufacturers produce. We must insist that corporations pay for recycling of the products they produce. The time IS right, and there will never ever be a better time to reduce our garbage.
