GOVERNING RULES AND REGULATIONS

An application to use the recycled material must be completed and
submitted to the City of Windsor for review where it is deemed, by the
designer, to be cost effective and consistent with sound engineering design
systems.
5.1.2
Future disassembly or reuse of the materials should always be considered
during the design phase so a greater percentage of materials can be reused
or recycled in the future.
5.1.3
The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change should be consulted for
any testing requirements that pertain to the use or disposal of recycled
materials.
