MIL-OSI Canada: Statement from Minister Richard Mostyn on the new City of Whitehorse Recycling Program

Minister of Community Services Richard Mostyn has issued the following statement:

“Our government believes recycling is a crucial part of protecting the Yukon’s natural environment.

“Once Raven ReCentre decided to stop accepting non-refundable recyclable materials, Whitehorse residents faced a gap in recycling options before Extended Producer Responsibility regulations start in 2025. In light of this situation, the Yukon government felt it was important to ensure recycling continues in the Yukon’s largest municipality.
