Comox Strathcona Waste Management To Hold Open Houses This Month

A couple of open houses are coming up later this month for residents to learn more about how Comox Strathcona Waste Management gets things done.

They’ll provide insight into everything from landfills and recycling depots to how CSWM manages greenhouse gas emissions and protects groundwater at the landfill.

The CSWM says it heard from over 1,000 people this summer and ‘’have been encouraged by the high level of interest in how we manage garbage, recycling and compost across the Comox Valley and Strathcona Regional Districts.’’

Vivian Schau, Senior Manager of Solid Waste Services, says the open houses are another opportunity for folks to learn more about how they currently manage waste and to offer feedback about their draft goals for the next ten years.”

An online open house will run Tuesday, September 12th - you do need to register ahead of time.

The in-person open house, at the Maritime Heritage Centre in Campbell River, will happen the following Tuesday, September 19th between 5pm and 8pm.

You’ll also find CSWM staff at various events in the area this month, including this weekend at the Black Creek Community Centre Fall Fair on Saturday and the Campbell River Farmers Market on Sunday.

The online survey is open until Monday September 25, 2023.
