thanks for heads up, this is good to know.. but i honestly do NOT see many smaller reno companies following these rules. It's anything but easy times plenty of projects for them in this fckin city, and there has already been some rule changes in the last little while at the dump that has annoyed contractors, so another Vancouver city cash grab no doubt approved thanks to our "green" mayor is just another hurdle they plan on going around, no intention of jumping

firstly, it's a city cash grab, second it's gonna stall fcking renovation time a LOT, thirdly it will incurr extra costs for the owner and they will have a tendency to try and skip and find another contractor who will bypass this extra cost incurring method by disposing the old way....
so I'm thinkin right now, how many smaller and midsize renovation/demolition companies are willing to potentially lose not just valuable time, but customers as well..

I am curious however is how the city's garbage dumps are planning on enforcing this rule... my dad runs a small renovation company for over 10 years now, I work with him and few times a month I'm at the dump disposing demolition materials... tiles, drywall, wood, etc....
so this directly affects what I do as well, guess I'll see my next trip to the dump
