Ryse Solutions, a leading multi-material producer responsibility organization (PRO) in Ontario, has announced the launch of the OrangeCycleâ„¢ Program – an initiative to collect and recycle hazardous waste from parks across the province. The program is operated by Ryse Solutions on behalf of companies that have a legal obligation to collect and recycle the single-use propane cylinders they sell in Ontario under the province’s Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) Regulation.
The OrangeCycleâ„¢ Program is the successor of the Orange Drop Program, which was operated by Stewardship Ontario until October 2021. Ryse Solutions has partnered with Ontario Parks to continue to offer park visitors the opportunity to safely and responsibly dispose of their empty non-refillable propane and butane containers at over 200 provincial parks across the province. The program operates year-round, with collection cages located at designated areas within the parks.
“Ryse is proud to be working with our partners Ontario Parks to continue to provide the opportunity for their camping customers to conveniently and safely recycle their empty non-refillable propane and butane containers,” said Gordon Day, Vice President of Ryse Solutions. “The OrangeCycleâ„¢ Program contributes to Ontario’s circular economy by diverting valuable resources from landfills and aligning with the province’s sustainability targets.”
