2011 Plan Update
The review began in January 2007. The 2011 Plan Update restates the objectives of the original RDNO SWMP and identifies a number of initiatives that could potentially be implemented to reduce the amount of municipal solid waste disposed in the RDNO. It also provides an update on the status of the recycling and disposal facilities managed by the RDNO.
Once approved by the Ministry of Environment, implementation of this Plan Update will begin. This Plan Update does not replace the original RDNO SWMP or the 2002 Plan Update, but rather complements them to ensure the RDNO is managing municipal solid waste within the region in an environmentally, economically and socially responsible manner.
Solid Waste Management - 2011 Plan Update
Open houses were held in May 2011 in Vernon , Armstrong and Lumby to allow the public to come forward with their input regarding how garbage and recyclables are handled and how much services will cost.
The topics for discussion and input for each Open House included:
Use of Development Cost Charges for solid waste projects and funding, Inter-Regional cooperation opportunities, Eco-Depot collection system, Blue Bag Processing Facility options and upgrades, Blue Bag Recycling Program enhancements, Blue Bag Recycling for businesses, Universal Curbside Collection, Demolition, Land Clearing and Construction waste options, Organic Waste diversion options, and disposal and recycling options for Non-Typical Waste.
