Surrey looks to ‘get on top’ of illegal dumping Incidents up 15 per cent in Surrey since pandemic began, report to council says Tom Zytaruk tom.zytaruk@surreynowleader.com
Surrey city council is looking at new ways to tackle illegal dumping, which has increased by 15 per cent since the COVID-19 pandemic began. “This is one of the most frequent complaints I’m sure a lot of us get up here during the course of our duties,” Coun. Doug Elford said. “Illegal dumping is quite common. Certainly we need to get on top of this. We need better tools in our toolbox to be able to manage this.” Coun. Linda Annis echoed that. “I think we all share huge concerns about the amount of illegal dumping in around our neighbourhoods.” A corporate report that council approved Monday, June 27 calls for the “enhancement” of enforcement and fines. “Based on a recent assessment of illegally dumped waste, it has been determined that the types of materials that have increased during the pandemic include drywall, home renovation materials, appliances, and furniture,” the report reveals. Ra, of Vancouver, one of the MCs for the Surrey Pride Festival, performs at Central City Plaza on Saturday. The annual festival was back in person for the first time since 2019 and Surrey Pride president Martin Rooney said he was “stunned” by the turnout. See full story on page 3. (Photo: Lauren Collins)
