Ontario's municipalities and brand owners are taking their
dispute over Blue Box funding to arbitration. Under the Waste
Diversion Act, 2002, s. 25(5) stewards are supposed to
pay 50% of the net costs incurred by municipalities. In previous
years, the parties have negotiated the amount to be paid. This
year, as costs continue to rise, the negotiations failed, and the
Waste Diversion Organization has announced that it directed the parties to
go to arbitration. Our firm is honoured to be representing the Association of Municipalities of
Ontario in this very important case.
