2021 Community Climate Action Plan

Page 46

How We Manage ‘Waste’ Vision: Our community diverts all of our organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, from landfills and recovers value from everything that enters the waste stream. Current State:

Organic landfill waste accounts for 14% of our communities GHG emissions. There is currently no organic waste pick up service though residential yard waste pickup does exist. The City also sells compost through its wastewater recycling program. The Regional District is currently evaluating options for an organics management facility.
