Commencing in 2008, the WEEE program was developed by WDO in co-operation with OES. The program aims to promote reuse and recycling of electronics and divert them from the solid waste stream.

Through a network of recycling and reuse partners who have met specific standards, 44 electronic products are eligible for diversion from landfills.

The Battery Incentive Program was launched in February of 2011 by Stewardship Ontario. Under the program items such batteries generated in Ontario are diverted from the solid waste stream for recycling.
