Blue Box Arbitration Decision Made

The decision regarding the dispute between the Association of Municipalities (AMO) and the City of Toronto, and Stewardship Ontario regarding the 2014 steward obligation for the Blue Box Program was released late today. We would like to thank the arbitrator for his work in rendering this decision. The arbitrator’s findings place the 2014 steward obligation at $115,172,322 as opposed to Stewardship Ontario’s position of $95.7 million. Stewardship Ontario, with counsel, will review the decision, determine next steps, and provide our assessment to stewards in the coming days.
