Yukon Stewardship Plan Approved

We are excited to announce that Interchange Recycling’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Stewardship Plan is the first to be officially approved by the Yukon Environmental Protection and Assessment Branch. This approval marks a significant milestone for EPR in the Yukon and reinforces a shared commitment to responsible product management and environmental sustainability. 

Launching on August 1, 2025, the Interchange Recycling Yukon program ensures that products such as lubricating oil, antifreeze, diesel exhaust fluid, oil filters, and automotive containers are collected and managed responsibly at the end of their life cycle.

As we prepare for the program’s rollout, we are working closely with local partners to establish convenient collection services, including a permanent public collection site in Whitehorse. These efforts will provide businesses, consumers, and industry stakeholders with clear and accessible recycling options, ensuring that obligated materials are diverted from landfills and processed in an environmentally responsible manner. 

We look forward to working with our members, industry partners, and the public to make this program a success. More details, including collection site locations and program guidelines, will be shared in the coming months.  

Reminder that all organizations doing business in Yukon are asked to Register with Interchange Recycling by completing the Yukon Participation Agreement and submitting it to accounting@interchangerecycling.com.
