Regulation - Minister
Notice of regulation revoking O.Reg 298/10 (Exemption Re Section 31 of the Act)
Regulation Number(s):
O.Reg 297/12
Instrument Type:
Regulation - Minister
Bill or Act:
Waste Diversion Act, 2002
Summary of Decision:
Ontario Regulation 298/10 (Exemption Re Section 31 of the Act) is revoked effective October 1, 2012, to coincide with the implementation of the changes to the Municipal Hazardous or Special Waste program.
On May 31, 2012, the Minister of the Environment approved changes to the Municipal Hazardous or Special Waste program that focused the program on the nine wastes (paints and coatings, solvents, used oil filters, empty oil containers, single-use dry cell batteries, antifreeze, pressurized containers, fertilizers, pesticides) that have been part of the original program since July 1, 2008.
The definitions for two of these wastes will change, starting October 1, 2012. Single-use batteries and antifreeze wastes will now be collected from all industrial, commercial and institutional generators (not just from residential and small quantity generators).
Revoking O.Reg 298/10 is an administrative step that ensures Stewardship Ontario is able to collect fees from stewards for all wastes managed by the program effective October 1, 2012.
