Changes to the Blue Box Program
On Jan. 1, Ontario implemented a provincewide recycling material list to help eliminate confusion over what can be recycled, as control of blue box programs shifts to manufacturers and producers instead of municipalities.
The new list also expands the items that can be recycled to include hot and cold beverage cups, black plastic containers, ice cream tubs, toothpaste tubes, deodorant and more.
Ontario will also change some blue box recycling targets for businesses, including removing the requirement to collect beverage containers in commercial locations.
