The Manitoba Stewardship Corporation started in January 1995. Jim Fogg, General Manager of the statutory corporation, stated that over 80% of the population is now served by some kind of recycling program. 180 of the 202 municipalities in the province have less than 5,000 people. Winnipeg, representing 65% of the population base, is serviced by Laidlaw. Funding comes from a 2 cent per container levy collected from consumers on most beverages.
Joe Paradiso, the Ontario Recycling Coordinator for Consumers Glass, recently participated in a training program for Laidlaw's operators in Winnipeg. Recycled glass is currently delivered to a local Manitoba market for use as aggregate.
Moving east to Quebec, the province is in the midst of hearings with stakeholders on a common sense method to finance waste management and recycling activities.
The status of landfills is an issue in terms of site quality and availability.
Eastward still, on April 1, 1996, Nova Scotia started its new Waste Management Regulations focused on an expanded deposit system. Recycling collection depots will be made available to the public. Unrefunded deposits will be used to help support waste diversion projects, education and foster environment business development.
