Changes to the Waste Reduction Act are getting two thumbs up from Kenora City Council.Under the proposed changes, industry will have to pick up more of the cost of recycling programs.
Kenora mayor Dave Canfield says that's good news because the city ends up subsidizing recycling programs for not only local taxpayers for for residents in the unincorporated areas as well.
Canfield says currently the city pays 50 percent of the cost of blue box programs, but that's expected to change over the next couple of years with industry contributing more, based on the amount of packaging used
in their products.
