g04york wwwyorkca deposit return an option frompahb27 member for the recycling council of ontario said while stewardship ontario chief executive officerdamianbassett stopped short of calling ms morawskis findings flawed he disagreed with her conclusions when you consider the full cost of blue box versus deposit return a curb- side blue box program is better said mr bassett adding the public largely favours curbside pickup over deposit return when you have to sort your own recyclables fill up your trunk and drive to a dingy part of town the motivation may not be there mr bassett said ontarios ministry of environment which oversees stewardship ontario and the blue box program also endorses curbside pickup over deposit return a deposit return system for bottles would only capture an extra 1 per cent of ontarios waste stream the ministry says adding it is better to focus on other items such as food waste which makes up 30 per cent of all waste and household hazardous wastes that can harm the environ ment as well some materials such as aluminum can be a revenue generator for municipalities mr bassett said york region receives an average of the state of 1757 per tonne in gross revenue col lecting aluminum such as pop cans to put that in perspective the next best revenue generator among yorks recyclables is polyethylene terephtha- late or pet plastic which fetches 451 per tonne for optimum recovery of valuable material we encourage the public to divert at home at work and in transit the value of commodities keep costs down mr bassett said but one of the arguments made for a deposit teturn system is that many beverage products are consumed away from home where there may not be a blue box program punishing companies for poor packaging that isnt easily recycled is also a way to increase waste diversion by charging more for products pack aged in materials that are either diffi cult or expensive to recycle you empower consumers mr campbell said now when you put something in your blue box and place it at the curb it just disappears when its more expensive at the pointofpurchase consumers can demand different packaging he said beat the heat with our air
