Short time to register for blue box plans for BC-published and/or -circulated magazines

Magazines published in or selling into British Columbia have only a short time to register a for a recycling stewardship plan with Multi Material BC (MMBC). A bulletin to its members from Magazines Canada says magazines have two options:

1. to appoint MMBC as agent, following their draft plan; deadline is November 5 or
2. to file its own plan by November 19

It is important to register intentions by the deadlines, the bulletin notes. More information on the BC regulations may be found here. 
The BC government is implementing a recycling regime for magazines that is to begin May 2014.
