Composting in Powell River has the potential to divert approximately 4,100 tonnes of waste from the landfill each year.
One of the recommendations that came out of the Solid Waste Management Plan is for the regional district to conduct a feasibility study to determine whether or not a centralized in-vessel composting system for food, yard and wood waste would be cost effective for this community. A consultant has been selected to undertake this study.
The regional district has hired BHC Consulting to oversee a Composting Advisory Committee made up of community representatives appointed by the regional board to do preliminary investigations of centralized composting systems that may be appropriate for this region.
