Recent Blogs Describe MMBC Depot Requirements and Process to Establish Percentage of Non-PPP
Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) has received inquiries from local governments and other organizations that are currently providing collection services for packaging and printed paper (PPP) about the terms and conditions set out in the Master Services Agreement (MSA) and the Statements of Work (SOW).
The MSA and SOWs are legal documents that support good business relationships between MMBC and the collectors that will deliver collection services on behalf of MMBC when industry assumes responsibility for the PPP collection system in May 2014.
MMBC recognizes that some of the contractual arrangements described in the documents are raising questions and concerns. To help collectors make decisions about their future role in collecting PPP, MMBC recently posted two blogs.
