INTRODUCTION


Solid Waste Management Plans• Regional Solid Waste Management Plans, prepared by

Regional Districts, are required by the Province

• Regional planning for infrastructure and services

• Covers all aspects of solid waste management (collection, waste reduction, disposal, financing, education, etc.)

PROPOSED WASTE DIVERSION PROGRAM


Reduction and Reuse: Proposed New Actions Develop campaigns to encourage reduction and reuse

behavior Expand reuse events to other communities Conduct a “Love Food, Hate Waste” style

campaign

From boardroof)'J to bo~rd1~: tn·,s Christmas_, Tt.«d~'s ff'e.ahnq

r r, · ce "'ft, Q daj on th slope.s.


Residential Diversion:Proposed New Actions Collaborate with municipalities to review current garbage collection can limits and cart fees to ensure that they encourage diversion

Consider implementation of curbside recycling collection in Mackenzie, Valemount and McBride if/when EPR funding available (municipal decision)


Organic Waste Diversion – The Issue

Develop Markets Develop Capacity

Northern goodness for your soil.

Paper 17%


Organic Waste Diversion: Proposed new actions Conduct a composting marketing study If market study indicates additional organics diversion is

viable, then update the organics composting feasibility study, including:– an assessment of co‐composting with biosolids– the potential for small‐scale composting at Mackenzie and Valemount

Seasonal yard waste collection in Prince George once capacity at Foothills is available

Where food waste processing capacity is developed: – Implement curbside food scraps collection – Ban ICI food waste disposal


ICI Waste Diversion: The Issue

Largest contributor to landfill No disposal bans to drive diversion

ICI Waste Diversion: Proposed new actions Apply differential tipping fees and/or a disposal ban on readily

divertible materials to encourage source separation– Initially at Foothills, with future expansion to other facilities

Assist private collectors to encourage more/better ICI recycling including the multi‐family residential sector

Increase awareness of waste diversion opportunities1ess ot waste diversion oppo


C&D Waste Diversion – The Issue

Limited opportunities for C&D waste diversion


C&D Waste Diversion:Proposed new actions Conduct a CD waste diversion study to determine:

– Local market capacity for wood waste and other C&D waste materials

– Construction/demo sector diversion related barriers and needs

Based on the outcome of the study:– Provide drop‐off bins/areas for small‐volume source‐separated C&D waste materials at Foothills landfill

– Implement disposal facility policies (e.g. disposal bans) that would support the development of private sector C&D waste capacity

– Develop targeted communication materials, such as a “Contractors Guide to Waste Diversion”


Promotion and Education: The Issue

• Public awareness

• Unknown efficacy of current approaches

Promotion and Education: Proposed new actions Conduct a survey to determine current levels of awareness

and efficacy of current communications

Support municipalities to promote existing diversion opportunities to their customers

Rebrand the RDFFG solid waste program

Promote RCBC’s hotline and Recyclopedia instead of maintaining a local phone line and recycling directory

Apply community based social marketing as a method to develop new waste reduction and diversion campaigns


Illegal Dumping: Proposed new actions Collaborate on the development of a regional illegal dumping

strategy that may include:

– Assess the nature and extent of illegal dumping in RDFFG

– Map known problem sites

– Conduct clean ups

– Continuing to provide free disposal to clean up events

– Establish and enforce a bylaw that puts the onus for proper disposal on the waste generator

– Develop a “observe, record and report” program

System Costs• Diversion programs are 15% of the solid waste operating

budget– New diversion components add $235K‐$305K per year to $9.5M operating budget

• Major capital expenditures: – Capital projects required to meet regulatory requirements at the Foothills Boulevard Regional Landfill

– Completion of the LFG Electrical Generation Project


COST RECOVERY MECHANISMS


Cost Recovery Mechanisms2013 Financial Plan Tipping fees 60% of system costs Property taxes 40% of system costs

Tipping fees increase to $90 per tonne by 2019

2016 Financial Plan Review Ensure costs and revenue impacts of new waste diversion and residual management projects can be accommodated within current financing strategy
