This report provides the outcome of discussions with the System Administrator (Circular Materials) for the post-transition phase of the Blue Box transition to Extended Producer Responsibility, beginning January 1, 2026, specifically whether the City of Toronto would play a continued role in service provision on behalf of producers past December 31, 2025. This report also summarizes key considerations following a review of the Issuing Authority's (comprised of Circular Materials and Reverse Logistics Group) Request for Proposals, which is seeking a collections service provider for eligible sources in the City of Toronto post-2025. Based on an extensive and collaborative multi-divisional review of the Request for Proposal and its technology, operational, asset, staffing and other service requirements, staff are recommending to not respond to the tender and have prepared an alternative workplan with supporting City Council recommendations and further detail outlined in Confidential Attachment 2.
