As a road association that depends on recycling and waste pick up to be subsidized during the winter months, as well as end of driveway pick up in the summer months, we understand that the recycling program may be altered in a manner that would not be condusive the expanding recycling to the benefit

Absolutely ridiculous. These proposals are just delays. I personally reject all claims that these changes would be beneficial, other than to a producers bottom line. I demand that these proposed changes be dismissed.
Burning is NOT recycling ; The Province is headed ' Trump's way' .... by gutting the regulations about EPR and delaying implementation of various measures designed to get Ontarians headed in the right direction on all things waste

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) which comes into effect in 2026 is supposed to build an accountable system for managing our waste. Our society creates way too much waste, thanks to Producers and Industy.

I am a resident of Ontario who has followed the proposal to allow waste to be incinerated. I strongly oppose this due to the health risks involved for those who live nearby the incinerator. There is no science to suggest that this process is safe to the residents nearby.

This is a disgusting idea! Do any of you have children?! Do you want them to have clean air in 50 years?! This is not something we should ever be returning to as a solution.
After reading the proposal, it would seem as though "delay" and "removal" of important waste-reduction measures are the goal. Five years or never is a long time to postpone what has already been put off or ignored for decades.

I understand that industry cannot change as quickly as needed. However, the proposed changes do not satisfactorily address the urgent nature of the climate catastrophe that is approaching.

It's VERY BAD IDEA to allow burning of recyclable materials, even if it's only a small percentage. Ontarians, especially in areas with many industrial buildings, are suffering from poor air quality. And we all are seeing effects of climate change every year.

Recycling should mean recycling not burning garbage that will affect our air quality.
Please rethink this program. It benefits no one.r
Recycled items should be repurposed and resumed.
Please keep our landfills small and our air clean.

Please do not allow this change to go through. Burning waste is not a solution! From our experience, the restrictions around burning garbage in a “clean” way are not monitored in a consistent way, which puts the health of our communities at risk. The real solution is creating less waste.

Please stick to the original agreement ... the world is already dying... air quality already is way worse than when I was a kid..... stop this oligarthic betrayal and for once follow through in prior commitments. Burning? You gotta be kidding me.... we need air to breathe.... duh.

Dear Mr. Peverini,
I am writing on behalf of Grand Erie District School Board to express our concerns regarding the proposed amendments to the Blue Box Regulation.

EPR will hold companies accountable, encourage packaging innovation, and help Ontario move toward a circular economy. EPR regulations should go into effect in 2026, as planned, and should NOT be postponed until 2031.
