Comox Strathcona Waste Management Seeking Input On New Solid Waste Management Plan

Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) is developing a new solid waste management plan and needs the public to share their input on the long-term vision of solid waste management for the region.

The plan will outline how garbage, recycling, and yard and food waste programs are managed over the next decade.

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy recommends that Plans be renewed every ten years to ensure the plan reflects best practices, the evolving realities of solid waste and alignment with provincial targets.

The last Plan was updated in 2012.

Meanwhile, the CSWM service area population has grown 13% during that time and is forecast to continue to grow.

Over the next three months, CSWM is seeking input on the existing system and on the draft goals and guiding principles that will serve as the foundation of the new Plan to guide solid waste management over the next ten years.

This is the second step of consultation in a four-step process to update the solid waste management plan over two years.

An online survey is available through the end of September.
