Register today for CIF’s Fundamental Principles in Recycling Planning
Participants say it’s a great value for staff who want to learn something new, deepen their knowledge on specific, technical topics, or simply update their knowledge at a time when developments are requiring a strong understanding of the blue box system in its entirety. This course is unique in its comprehensiveness.
The multi-module course provides insights to support staff decisions for planning, implementing and operating a blue box recycling program. The course is:
- Free of charge to municipal and First Nations staff
- Available online, 24 hours/day, 7 days/week
- Fully narrated and includes activities, quizzes and case studies
After successfully completing the final exam, participants earn four Continuing Education Units (CEUs) to be used towards their best practice score in the RPRA Datacall.
A participant who recently completed the course said…
“I feel like I’m using all of the content in my day to day work. In my municipality, they are currently putting new equipment in their MRF, and I am helping with the proposal. Having this background information about the new legislation is helping with this request.”
Managing change by staying up to date
Change is upon us, and if you and your staff have been tasked with helping develop EPR transition plans, this course will provide a refresher for all program aspects that need to be considered and addressed.
Online Fundamentals covers legislation, markets, processing, collections, promotion & education and policies. It also includes vital sections on measuring and monitoring and how to present consolidated plans to senior management or council.
Lindsay Quinn of Barrie says, “even in areas where I have a lot of experience, I picked up something new”.
Level of effort anticipated
