Province fines Port Coquitlam-based KMS Tools $28,300 for repeated recycling law violations

the company knowingly avoided at least $8,800 in program fees….
Well, if it saved more than $19,000 last time around, it definitely came out ahead.
$28,300 — is this on top of the $19,000, or is this only an additional $9,300? Because if it’s the second, by not complying over the past year, it’s really only cost them $500 - which is likely less than all the additional costs of changing over their entire inventory handling workflow during that time. And if they’re still refusing to pay… that’s an easily absorbable cost, leaving them mostly with the problem of bad publicity.
