Historical Datacall Statistics now posted

Statistics from the most recent Datacall submission year (2022) are now available on our website.

The Datacall is used to determine the net cost of the Blue Box system and for allocating funding under the Blue Box Program Plan. Each Ontario program (municipality, recycling association or First Nation community) that provides recycling services to residents must complete the Datacall to be eligible for Blue Box funding. The Datacall is also used to determine residential waste diversion rates by program and the province overall.

Datacall Statistics are posted to RPRA’s website annually. These statistics are presented in Excel spreadsheet format and include data for each program, including residential waste diversion rate, organics, other recyclables and Blue Box Program data such as accepted materials, tonnage, program costs and revenue.
