Situation |
Provinces and territories are responsible for waste management policy. Individual and regional municipalities are responsible for waste collection, diversion and disposal. The private sector is generally responsible for its own waste management costs. Though a number of individual companies and provinces have put packaging stewardship initiatives in place, no national packaging stewardship policy has been established. |
