Waste Reduction and
Prevention
In 1989, the Manitoba Government joined the other provinces in a commitment to cutting solid waste in half. In 1990, the Province passed
The Waste Reduction and Prevention Act
that provides a range of options to reduce solid waste.
Regulations under The WRAP Act were developed to support
multi-material recycling,
tire
recycling and
used
oil management. Stewardship corporations were established under
these regulations to implement waste reduction programs for
designated wastes. The
Manitoba Product Stewardship Corporation (MPSC),
Tire
Stewardship Board and Manitoba Association for Resource Recovery Corporation (MARRC) operate at a financial "arm's length" from government, but are accountable to the Minister of Conservation.
