Multi-Material British Columbia is the non-profit industry association that delivers a province-wide extended producer responsibility program for packaging and printed paper, on behalf of producers, as required under the BC Recycling Regulation. Since May 19, 2014 the City of Vancouver has been providing recycling collection services to City residents as a contractor to MMBC. Under that contract, MMBC provides financial incentives to the City for delivery of those services. However, the financial incentives MMBC provides do not cover the full cost of the services provided by the City. The City now faces a decision on whether to continue providing single family and multi-family recycling collection services as a contractor to MMBC and fund the net costs through utility charges to residents, or to turn over this responsibility to MMBC who will provide the service at no cost to the public. This report recommends terminating the MMBC contract for single family curbside and multi-family collection, and turning over recycling collection to MMBC no later than January 2, 2017. Doing so would provide an opportunity to invest funds currently used to cover the recycling funding shortfall into other program areas such as litter collection, abandoned and illegally dumped waste, new recycling initiatives and other public realm cleanliness initiatives that would advance Greenest City and Healthy City goals.
