DAWSON CREEK, B.C – The Peace River Regional District is looking to get feedback from the public on its Regional Solid Waste Management Plan.
The District has been working on updating the plan for the past year and is now consulting with residents through an online survey.
In a statement on Feb. 1st, the PRRD says solid waste management is challenging in northern B.C due to the cost of transportation, lack of markets for recycled items and waste products, and illegal dumping.
The updated Plan will determine how solid waste and recycling is managed in the Region over the next 15 years.
The Ministry of Environment requires all regional districts in British Columbia to plan how solid waste in their region will be managed and reduced.
