Stewardship Plan 2022

The MARR stewardship plan received the approval of BC's Ministry of Environment and Parks on June 29, 2012, and today is the only approved stewardship plan for major appliances in the province. The MARR plan is focused on enhancing the performance and transparency of the existing market-based system of collecting and recycling major household appliances in BC.

The revised plan was submitted to the Ministry of Environment and Parks in June of 2022 and is awaiting approval. A copy of the revised plan can be found here:  MARR Stewardship Plan 2022.
