  Toggle the submenu How will the Authority determine a producer is using ‘best efforts’?

  In determining whether an obligated producer used best efforts to meet their management requirements, the Compliance Team will consider whether the producer, acting in good faith, took all reasonable steps to meet the requirements outlined in the applicable regulation.

  For example, best efforts in the context of management requirements may involve a producer regularly monitoring the volume of material being collected and managed, and implementing plans for increasing those volumes if the requirements are unlikely to be met.

  Producers can contact the Compliance Team to ask specific questions about fulfilling their obligations.

  • Collection sites – maintain at least the same number of sites that producers had at the end of the MHSW Program
  • Collection events – make best efforts to hold the same number of events in each community as in 2020
  • Call-in Service (only applicable to large producers) – provide a phone number for communities to call to request a pickup (of 100 kg or more) if requested by a council of the band, a municipality or a territorial district not located in the Far North, a depot owned or operated by the Crown not in the Far North.

  Large producers shall make reasonable efforts to collect the HSP within one year of being notified by a representative of a council of the band located on a reserve in the Far North.
