Nova Scotian’s are making final preparations for the long weekend, and most will be purchasing some beer or wine.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has released a government document showing the province is at least considering an increase to deposit fees for glass recyclables.

The documents show the deposit would go from 10 to 20 cents, but you’ll still only get 5 cents back.

CTF spokesperson, Kevin Lacey, says that could just be the tip of the ice burg.

“Within the document, it says the new recycling fee could be altered and changed on an annual basis,” said Lacey.

He adds the whole thing needs to be rejected.

Meanwhile, the province says it’s not increasing deposit fees for glass recyclables.

“Neither myself nor my government colleagues have ever discussed increasing this tax,” Environment Minister Sterling Belliveau said. “Departmental staff generated a discussion paper to collect feedback from interested stakeholders on solid waste management regulations. This is regular practice in all government departments.”

He adds the province will continue to focus efforts on finding ways to divert even more materials, such as construction and demolition debris, from landfills.
