The disposal ban program is seen as a key tool for Metro Vancouver to encourage waste reduction and recycling
Electronic waste once again led the way when it came to banned materials found in garbage loads headed to the Vancouver Landfill in Delta and other regional waste facilities last year.
Corrugated cardboard accounted for 21 per cent of the surcharge notices in 2022, down from 25 per cent in 2021, while food waste accounted for eight per cent of the surcharge notices last year, up from five per cent the year prior. “In some cases, companies with excellent recycling programs have high surcharge rates. Some of these companies process recyclables, and material delivered for disposal may still have some banned materials. Changes to the disposal ban program model are being considered to allow exemptions for companies that can demonstrate they have implemented all practical measures to prevent recyclables being disposed of in the waste stream,” the report adds.
