This curbside service is one of the first actions coming out of the CRD’s recently approved Solid Waste Management Plan (SWMP) and complements other service rollouts across the region.
“Introducing curbside service supports residents in several ways. It cuts down on driving and fuel costs, reduces wear and tear on vehicles, and provides a dependable system for handling household waste. Just as importantly, it helps keep our communities cleaner and promotes stronger recycling practices. This is a practical improvement that will benefit families, seniors, and the community as a whole.” said Al Richmond, CRD Director for Area G.
103/105 Mile residents are encouraged to check their mail beginning September 16th for important information regarding the new service. The CRD’s website www.cariboord.ca/103-105curbside includes all relevant information about the service including a map, collection days, FAQs and resources for where to recycle hazardous items that don’t belong in the garbage.

About the Solid Waste Management Plan
The SWMP was developed with two rounds of public consultation and guidance from the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, which included residents, First Nations representatives, environmental organizations, industry, and local government staff. Learn more at cariboord.ca/swmp
