The Ontario governments proposed changes to the Blue Box recycling program will lead to losses of good jobs in municipalities and a lack of public oversight, says the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario.

Key Points: 
  • The Ontario governments proposed changes to the Blue Box recycling program will lead to losses of good jobs in municipalities and a lack of public oversight, says the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Ontario.
  • When private corporations take full control over the Blue Box program they'll want to make a profit, so theyll cut corners because profit is their bottom line, according to CUPE Ontario.
  • There are also concerns about the lack of enforcement, for instance: requiring diversion rates; or conducting, growing, and maintaining a program.
  • We have other options and we cant allow misleading plans like the EPR to take us off course.
