Outdoor Power Equipment and the BC Recycling Regulation:
The British Columbia (BC) Recycling Regulation requires the “producers” (manufacturers, retailers and/or distributors) of outdoor power equipment (OPE) to be part of an approved stewardship program by July 1, 2012. A Stewardship Program for OPE has been developed by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute of Canada (OPEIC), which will start on July 1, 2012. The program will be funded by environmental handling fees (EHF) paid on a per-unit basis by participants in the program on sales of electric OPE in British Columbia.
How to Register
“Producers” are able to register for the OPEIC program as of May 1st at www.opeicreporting.ca.
