| New Recycling Options Increase BC's Environmental Leadership British Columbians will soon have more options when it comes to recycling their old or broken electronics and electrical products. Industry-managed recycling programs have been proven to improve recycling rates, save energy and help municipalities reduce the costs of managing waste. A new program to recycle electrical outdoor power equipment will also be introduced July 1st, joining 13 other recycling programs designed to manage anything from electronics and paint, to tires and small appliances. "Expanding our current recycling programs is an important milestone for BC," says Darrell Clarke, president, CESA. As with other non-profit recycling programs in BC, these new and expanded programs will be funded by a fee on the sale of new products to pay for program costs such as collection, transportation and processing of recyclables. "Funding these programs provides British Columbians with the additional recycling programs they want and more environmentally-friendly alternatives for the products they use," adds Clarke.
