Solid Waste Management
Integrated Solid Waste Management services include landfill operations, a network of regional transfer stations, and a variety of waste reduction initiatives including multi-material recycling, yard and garden waste composting and educational programs.
These services and programs are supported by the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan (RSWMP) which is a plan required by British Columbia legislation. The RSWMP was approved in 1997, but the Regional District began implementation of the new solid waste management programs in 1994 based on the RSWMP concepts.
The objectives of the RSWMP are to reduce waste to landfill, enhance the environmental protection aspects of solid waste management and improve the way we manage residual waste destined for landfill disposal. The Solid Waste Management Program provides services to Prince George, Mackenzie, Valemount, McBride and each of the seven electoral areas.
