Municipal Depots & Events Program Information
Collection
Ontario’s municipalities are the main focus for managing residential waste streams, and many have chosen to give their residents the opportunity to dispose of the two materials in the Orange Drop Program (MHSW). To provide these collection services, municipalities enter into agreements with Stewardship Ontario, and must adhere to collection site standards. Municipalities may choose to collect Orange Drop materials (MHSW) at permanent depots (year-round or seasonal), at special one day collection events, or both. Some municipalities have residency restrictions in place and can only collect from local residents.
Events
Municipalities that operate Events are paid an all-inclusive flat rate per tonne collected:
- $1,100 per tonne if located within five hours of the service provider
- $2,200 per tonne if located more than five hours from the service provider
- $200 per tonne if delivering the Orange Drop materials (MHSW) to a depot for consolidation prior to transportation
The payment rate is for all collection and post-collection activities, including but not limited to promotion, event mobilization and logistics, staff time for receiving and packing Orange Drop materials (MHSW), transportation, processing, administration and reporting.
Municipalities are responsible for securing a service provider from Stewardship Ontario’s Approved Transporters and Processors list.
