SCHEDULE III
RECOVERY SYSTEM
(
1
)
The recovery system referred to in any of sections 5 to 7 must include collection points for each regional municipality in the territory in which a business or supplier subject to a recovery requirement under this Regulation markets oils, fluids, or filters. The same applies for any town (hereafter called “large town”) that has a population of 25,000 or more and whose territory is not part of the territory of a regional county municipality.
For the purposes of this section, “regional municipality” has the meaning assigned by section 53.5 of the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q-2).
(
2
)
The recovery system must include collection points for the deposit of used oils, oil or fluid containers and used filters required to be recovered and that are of the same type as the oils, fluids, or filters marketed by the business or supplier concerned, and for the deposit of any container or packaging used to transport the products.
(
3
)
A collection point shall have a permanent and fixed depot or a temporary, fixed or mobile depot.
A permanent depot is a depot that is accessible year round during regular business hours for a period of at least 24 hours per week in which at least 6 of those hours are during the weekend. The opening hours of the depot must be posted in an appropriate location.
A temporary depot is a depot that is accessible or available periodically and at least once per season.
A fixed depot must be located so as to minimize travel distances for the majority of persons served by the system in the territory concerned.
(
4
)
The use of the recovery system shall be free of charge for every citizen.
(
5
)
The minimum number of collection points that must be included in the recovery system and their type and location shall be determined according to the option chosen by the business or supplier concerned.
BUSINESS’ OR SUPPLIER’S OPTIONS
(number, type, and location of collection points)
OPTION A
For each business in a regional municipality or a “large town” engaged in the selling of oils, fluids or oil filters under the trademark owned or used by a business or supplier subject to the recovery requirements, there must be a collection point located in the territory of the regional municipality or, as the case may be, the “large town”.
The collection points must be permanent and fixed depots that may be located at each such business or at any other location within a 5 km radius of such business by roads usable by motor vehicles year round.
OPTION B
The minimum number of collection points that must be included in the recovery system for each territory in which the system must be established and the type of collection points shall be determined according to the number of inhabitants of the regional municipality or, as the case may be, the “large town” concerned.
For a regional municipality that has a population of less than 25,000, the recovery system in the territory of the municipality must provide for one collection point. It may be a permanent and fixed depot or a temporary, fixed or mobile depot.
For a regional municipality or, as the case may be, a “large town” that has a population of 25,000 or more, the recovery system in the territory of the municipality or “large town” must provide for one collection point that is a permanent and fixed depot for each portion not exceeding 50,000 inhabitants.
Where the number of collection points required for a regional municipality or, as the case may be, a “large town” is equal to or greater than 3, one-third of the collection points must be in operation as soon as the system is implemented. Two-thirds of the collection points must be in operation on the first anniversary of the implementation of the system, and all collection points must be in operation on the second anniversary.
