The Capital Regional District (CRD) is developing a new Solid Waste Management Plan—the plan that guides how the region will manage solid waste in the coming years, including recyclables, compostable material and garbage from homes, businesses, institutions, and construction and demolition sites.
There have been significant changes to the way in which we think about and manage waste since our last plan was developed. We are looking at ways to extend the life of the Hartland Landfill beyond 2100, by significantly reducing waste and reusing/recycling materials as much as possible, and considering future landfill design options. The aim is to reduce our waste from 380 kg per capita (2018 levels) to 250 kg per capita by 2030. We have 15 proposed strategies to help achieve this target and now we want to hear from you.
