In Fall 2013, Metro Vancouver submitted a proposed waste flow management bylaw to the Province that would require all residential, commercial and institutional garbage generated in the region to be delivered to Metro Vancouver and City of Vancouver disposal facilities.  Metro Vancouver and proponents of this bylaw argue that without it, the region won’t meet its aggressive recycling goals and that it’s essential to a competitive waste management and recycling industry and to ensure a cost effective and equitable disposal system.  The waste management sector argues that Bylaw 280 will eliminate private sector competition in the waste and recycling industry and ultimately lead to higher disposal costs and less investment in new and innovative recycling technologies.
