Dear Editor,
“Return-It to accept milk and plant-based milk containers for refund come Feb. 1,” Online, Jan. 18
So the B.C. government has now imposed a new deposit/eco fee on milk and drink cartons.
Will this rid us from the scourge of the millions of discarded milk cartons along our highways?
It’s claimed to stop the landfills from more pollution.
Perhaps an easy tax grab for vested friends?
What about plastic wrapped disposable diapers, that now take up about 20 per cent or more of landfills, not to mention greenhouse gases.
Does “Return-it” plan on a diaper fee and recycling facility?
It would be nice if both our municipalities and Return-it Corp. might be more transparent about what happens with recycling processes, and above all, where the money is going, rather than spending their excess income on tacky cartoon advertising.
