Jul 1 – Landfill ban on styrofoam takes effect
In an effort to divert recyclable materials away from landfills, Metro Vancouver has introduced a landfill ban on Styrofoam packaging that will come into effect on July 1, 2018. Once in effect, the college will be responsible for ensuring that all StyroFoam is properly collected and sent to a facility for recycling. Failure to comply with the landfill ban will result in financial penalties for the college.
