TEMP Collection and Diversion
We track the quantities of hazardous or special materials that our stewards sell into the marketplace. Our performance is measured against annual provincial collection and diversion targets. We are also accountable for the accessibility of our Orange Drop Program (MHSW)—the number of sites where Ontario households can drop off nine categories of waste materials.

Funding from Stewards
The cost of operating the Blue Box Program is shared between stewards and municipalities. The Orange Drop Program (MHSW) is funded entirely by stewards (Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) model).

Program Expenses
Orange Drop 2 (MHSW):
Orange Drop Program Expenses 2013 $44.5M
Orange Drop Program Expenses 2012 $50.5M
Orange Drop Program Expenses 2011 $56M
Orange Drop Program Expenses 2010 $47.5M
Orange Drop Program Expenses 2009 $25.6M
2 Note that 100% EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) came into effect on July 1, 2010 resulting in different levels of program expenses between 2009 and 2011.
Performance Audits
2011
In 2011, Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO), the organization that oversees Stewardship Ontario, commissioned a third-party performance audit of our Waste Diversion Programs:
- Performance Audit of the Municipal Hazardous or Special Waste Program
August 4, 2011
Submitted to Waste Diversion Ontario by ICF Marbek
2012
Following a request from the Minister of the Environment, KPMG was retained by Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) to conduct an Incentive Program Review related to the development and implementation of financial incentives paid to service delivery partners by Industry Funding Organizations (IFOs). KPMG’s review focused on the Municipal Depot Transportation and Processing Incentive Program (MDT&PIP) as part of the Orange Drop Program (MHSW).
WDO submitted the KPMG recommendations to the Minister and the report was shared with stakeholders in May 2012. Stewardship Ontario then retained the services of KPMG to help implement the report’s recommendations.
As a result, we have strengthened our principles of good stakeholder engagement and formalized our stakeholder engagement practices to embed high performance standards in Stewardship Ontario’s corporate culture. We have also created a dispute resolution process that provides a clear framework for solving disagreements.
