Effective Communications Increases Collection
Communicating widely… safe, secure diversion for
unwanted electronics
– TV, radio, print (newspapers and

– targeted messaging: consumer, youth
and business
– trade shows and events
– speaking engagements
“Do the World a Favour.
Recycle Your Electronics.”
Slide 10Public Website …
Rebranded recycleyourelectronics.ca to replace
dowhatyoucan.ca (late September, 2010)
Valuable tool for OES partners, Ontario
– residents and businesses
Website traffic in Q4 2010
– 20,000+ visits/month (avg.)

Increased Convenience
Expanded collection; new retail and municipal
partnerships

and collection events
• 14 cities in fall 2010
2011 will focus on remote and
underserviced areas in
Mobile tour stop, Cornwall,
Northern Ontario summer 2010
Slide 12Earning Recognition

Slide 13Program Enhancements
Innovative programs to facilitate collection and expand
accessibility
Municipal Roll-off
– easier collection attracts more municipal partners
Processor Incentive
– financial incentive for approved processors to improve
accessibility by providing collection services to their clients
Reuse Incentive
– per unit incentive for Reuse/Refurbishment (R&R) to report on
units managed plus an incentive for eligible units managed
Slide 14A New Option for Stewards’ E-waste
New PI and RI programs allow incentives only to
Approved Processors and Reuse organizations
These organizations can ensure the e-waste you or
your customers generate can be managed within
the program
We would like to help you:
– set up Steward Controlled WEEE program
– provide communications materials
How can we make this option work for you?
Slide 15Slide 16 Firefighters’ Round Up, New Liskeard, January 15, 2011
Fee-Setting for Year 3
Howard Morrison, CMA
Director of Finance
Slide 17Key Factors Influencing Year 3 Fees
Program Cost Units Supplied Material Fee
for Materials For Use in Ontario ($/unit)
Collection Targets Updated Data for
Collection & Year 2 (12 mo.
Management Costs Steward Reports)
Promotion & Education 2 year trends
Program Administration Industry forecasting
by product
Slide 18Fee Setting Principles
OES does not cross-subsidize costs across
material categories
The projected number of units supplied in ON and
material management costs for the projected
tonnes collected form basis for fees
OES applies a transparent cost allocation
methodology where costs are defined to manage
each material in each category
Slide 19Fee-Setting Principles (cont’d)
Common costs shared among all Stewards
Costs for obsolete WEEE allocated to Steward fees
for successive technology
Material specific fees may be modified to achieve
– program diversion goals
– material-specific collection, reduction/reuse and
recycling targets
Slide 20Primary Cost Drivers
Material Management costs–82%
Administration −7%
– 52,507 tonnes: Apr. 1, 2011- Mar. 31, 2012
(12.6% increase over last year)
– includes new Processor/Reuse
P&E−11%
Incentive programs
Promotion & Education (P&E)–11%
– 48% increase over prior year’s budget
Administration–7% Material Management − 82%
– compliance reviews for stewards and suppliers
– WDO management fees & other overhead
HST introduction (July 1, 2010) increased costs by 8%
– OES requested Canada Revenue Agency ruling on
input tax credits (ITCs)
Slide 21Proposal
Current fees: April 1 to June 30 (2011)
OES proposing to continue current fees until
June 30, 2012
– no changes to fee with one potential exception
Seeking input on floor standing printers, copiers and multi-
functional products
– preliminary estimates show increase in fees; however,
Ontario sales projections require industry confirmation
– request OEM support to provide sector information
about Ontario market for next 12 months to confirm
sales estimates
Slide 22Impact
$5.8 million deficit to offset prior year’s surplus
Floor standing products
in a deficit position
– what are our options?
Slide 23Fee Schedule – July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012

Slide 25“When will OES expand the program to include other electronics items that are not listed in the Rules?” Response OES is not proposing any new products this year operates the program under authority and oversight from the WDO and the Minister of the Environment cannot add products that are not covered under Regulation 393/04 without the direction from the Minister will consult with stewards in the coming months on the product list covered under the program to provide direction to WDO will communicate with Stewards through Bits & Bytes; to subscribe, go to the “Newsroom”, and request to be added to the mailing list Slide 26
“Will there be any changes in the product categories (i.e., moving product from one category to another) or, is this change addressing fees only?” Response The last change in product categories took place in November 2009 (highlighted in Bits & Bytes: Issue 93) http://www.ontarioelectronicstewardship.ca/newsroom/enews.html OES is not proposing any change to product categories at this time Slide 27
“Why is the remitting process so complicated in Ontario?” Response OES has developed a “remitter” process, within the limits of the Waste Diversion Act. This is different that other provinces. This process allows another business to report monthly and remit the fees on behalf of an obligated steward. This is executed through an online agreement system between commercial parties and OES. For more information, please see the “remitters” FAQ or contact Customer Service: customerservice@ontarioelectronicstewardship.ca www.ontarioelectronicstewardship.ca/faqs/remitters_process.html Slide 28
“Does OES have a small volume reporting exemption or alternative reporting schedule? Response At this time, OES has not implemented any exemptions from reporting or any small volume reporting alternatives. Stewards are required to report monthly and through the use of remitters agreements, may have “zero” reports. These must be submitted monthly. Slide 29
“Do the fees provide any incentives for eco-design initiatives?” Response The proposed fees on new products are intended to effectively collect and recycle old electronic products. Each of the other 5 provincial e-waste programs use this approach as the basis for their fees. The fees do not address issues of design for the environment or eco- design. Currently, only one national jurisdiction in the world has attempted to implement such a program. OES, in conjunction with WDO, will be monitoring the results and implications of that country’s program. Slide 30

from stewards/stakeholders
March 4: OES delivers final fee schedule to
