The following topics and questions have been raised in previous consultation and are intended to guide feedback:

Topic 1: Eligible, excused and exempt projects

Do you have any comments regarding:

Types of projects that are recommended to be subject to this bylaw?


Exempt projects and those excused from fully complying with the bylaw?


Phasing-in activities that have lower diversion rates first, such as single-family demolition?


Topic 2: Targeted Recyclables and Hazardous Materials

Are there currently enough licensed facilities, excluding landfills, to provide a sufficient number of reliable drop-off sites for DLC materials across the region?


Should the list of facilities licensed by Metro Vancouver be expanded to include all facilities that accept recyclable materials under the proposed municipal DLC bylaw?


Topic 3: Fees

Is the recommended level of refundable fees adequate to stimulate the desired behaviour change?


How could municipalities reduce the impact from refundable fees on the industry?


Topic 4: Application requirements and approval process

How can administrative duties be simplified for permit applicants and municipalities?


Can contractors describe intended plans for reuse of building materials in a way that Building Officials can approve?


Topic 5: Compliance

How will small projects, such as a single-family residential construction, track and provide proof of recycling?


How can all contractors be encouraged to obtain applicable permits and comply with all requirements?


Are there cases where receipts or photos would not be available to prove that material was reused?
