Smoke from pile burning will be visible in 108 Mile Area

Courtesy of the BC Wildfire Service:

BC Wildfire Service will be burning 150 small brush piles on the west side of Highway 97 from the north end of the 108 Mile Airport to the 108 Mile House Heritage Site. The purpose of the pile burning is to remove fuels that were created from clearing brush along the highway in order to provide better visibility of wildlife.  

Smoke will be visible from 108 Mile House and nearby areas. Traffic control will be on site to ensure it remains safe for passing motorists.  

Burning is expected to begin Wednesday, October 6, 2021 and will continue periodically until October 15, 2021. It will occur only on days when site and weather conditions are favourable and will allow smoke to dissipate. BC Wildfire Service personnel will be on site while the burning is being conducted.

108 Mile Recycling Service

In the last few days - I've had people looking for information on the recycling service at 108 Mile Ranch

CRD Chair/Area 'G' Director Al Richmond offers the following:

Garbage will be picked up first on Wednesdays but recycling will be picked up first on Thursdays. The recyclables all have to be weighed and this way they only have to make one trip to the scale on Thursday after all the recyclables have been collected. The truck needs to be cleaned between garbage runs and recycling to avoid contaminating the recyclables. Totes will need to be left out up to 5 p.m. on the days that both recycling and garbage are collected. All recycling picked up at curbside on the 108 is delivered to after it has been weighed Gold Trail. This is necessary as we have to report volumes to MMBC

Should you have any further questions - you can contact Chair Al Richmond via email here or by phone at 250-791-5477
