York Region, in partnership with our local cities and towns, submits an annual datacall to the province through the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (the Authority). The information is used to determine blue box costs and to allocate funding from producers to assist with the cost of operating the Blue Box Program. The datacall produces a ranking of municipal diversion rates across the province. York Region continues to be a leader with the highest verified diversion rate of 68% in 2017, in the large urban category."
