5 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Summary This report provides a review of the different elements that make up the solid waste program in the City of Williams Lake (the City). To help reinforce the main elements within the document, we have compiled a brief summary, highlighting the key points that we feel are integral to determining a forward-looking waste strategy for the City. Under the current program, the City contracts the collection of residential garbage and recycling collection for Single Family Dwellings (SFDs) and Multi-Unit Residential Dwellings (MURDs) to Central Cariboo Disposal (CDC). CDC is a longstanding fixture of the community, and the only commercial waste collection company in the region, providing residential and commercial waste collection services in Williams Lake for over 36 years. The City residential recycling program receives funding through Multi Material BC (MMBC) to help offset the collection costs of residential Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP) recycling. The Cariboo Regional District (CRD) also receives funding for the transportation and collection from outlying transfer stations and the Central Cariboo Transfer Station (CCTS). The current agreement with the City is not up for renegotiation until November of 2018, and can be renewed for two additional one-year terms at the discretion of MMBC. The City currently has two options available to them for the collection of garbage and recycling at SFDs and MURDs. Collection can continue to be contracted out to a partner vendor or can be provided in-house. Under an in-house city-provided curbside collection service, MURDs would need to be left out of this service in order to make it cost effective. On paper, the move to in-house city collection would reduce annual costs by $17,388 in the first year. Under an in-house curbside residential service scenario, MURDs would need to contract services with CCD, and be removed from residential classification with the City and CRD. If MURDs were to be transferred to commercial collection, with service levels maintained and a minimal level of one 240 L of weekly recycling mandated, 94% would experience cost increases. Further requirements would include: Clarification on what constitutes a MURD, and how many units qualify as a MURD under the current program, this definition is blurred between Multiple Unit Residential Building and Multiple Unit Residential Dwelling, with the number of units required for a building to qualify being as low as three. The City would need to work closely with CCD and the MURD owners to ensure a smooth transition. Bylaws would need to be put in place to ensure that MURD owners provide their residents with a minimal level of waste and recycling collection service. 6 March 2017 II

6 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review On top of paying commercial rates for garbage and recycling services, there is an unresolved question of how much MURD owners would be billed through their property taxes for their portion of the commercial waste infrastructure costs. A review with the CRD of the current residential disposal policy at CCTS and outlying transfer stations to determine how these new commercial residents would contribute to the funding of the infrastructure and services. Under the current program, both SFDs and MURDs contribute through property taxes. If classified as commercial, MURD residents would be required to pay tipping fees, just like other commercial entities. How would these residents be identified? Currently, 1,142 residential units are classified as MURDs. 63 MURD buildings are currently serviced by CCD; CCD provides 70 commercial front-end load (FEL) bins, and 56% of MURDs are without recycling: 35 buildings, 532 units. The City and CRD share the costs for providing garbage and recycling infrastructure. Under the current shared cost arrangement with the CRD, the 2016 City portion is $759, The $759, cost is broken down into residential and commercial. Residential... $412, Commercial... $347, If the City were to move to utility billing, under the current residential collection program, each residential unit would be billed $ Under utility billing, if the City was to move to in-house SFD collection, and MURDs were moved to commercial, each SFD would be billed $ Based on the 2014 provincial data, the CRD has an annual per capita disposal weight of 717 kg. This ranks 23 rd out of 27 Regional Districts. CCTS, CRD, and the City by the numbers: CRD and the City currently do not have a signed Landfill Use Agreement in place; In 2016, residential disposal at CCTS totalled 9,289 tonnes, 52% of the total; In 2016, commercial disposal at CCTS totalled 8, tonnes, or 48%; Of the commercial disposal by weight, 95% is from the City, 5% is from CRD; CCTS collected a total of $508, in user fees; 6 March 2017 III

7 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 97% of the user fees came from commercial (Institutional, Commercial, Industrial (ICI)) transactions; Out of 54,260 CCTS transactions, 3,394 were commercial (6%); Of all residential transactions, 97% fell under the residential free disposal limit of 450 kg; 32% of all commercial transactions were less than 450 kg; and The commercial cost to dump at CCTS is $60/tonne. The actual cost of receiving, processing, and transporting commercial waste is closer to $100/tonne. Of the seven Regional Districts analyzed in this report, only Cariboo and Bulkley Nechako allow free disposal for residents. All other regions apply a minimum charge or per bag fee. Expanded diversion opportunities in the City include residential/commercial organics recycling and mattress/box spring recycling. Both initiatives would require a feasibility analysis. 6 March 2017 IV

13 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The City of Williams Lake (the City) has initiated an independent review of the current solid waste management program and infrastructure provided to residents and businesses within the City of Williams Lake service area. 1.1 Report Objective The report has been prepared in accordance with the initial proposal provided to the City by Waste Collective. The objectives of this report are to provide: A review of the current components, services, and stakeholders; An identification of specific areas of interest that require further analysis and review; A focus on the growth of the solid waste program and the enhancement of sustainability in the region; Identification of opportunities to improve the services and transparency between stakeholders and the City; and Forward-looking waste strategy for the City. 1.2 Current System The City was incorporated in 1929 and has a total land area of square kilometres (km 2 ), and the City s market area covers 12,466 km 2. The population in the City limits is approximately 11,150, with a full market and city population of approximately 25,120. Located within the Cariboo Regional District (CRD), the City is responsible for providing its residents with collection and management of garbage and recycling services. Currently the collection service is contracted out to Central Cariboo Disposal (CCD), a private waste management company that has been servicing the City residents and businesses for over 36 years. The City is home to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station (CCTS), located at 5025 Frizzi Rd. The transfer station is operated by the CRD and located on the former Williams Lake landfill, which was closed in 2003 at the opening of the Gibraltar Landfill. The Gibraltar Landfill is located 75 km northwest of Williams Lake, near the Town of McLeese Lake. The costs of operating the CCTS transfer station and the Gibraltar Landfill are shared by the CRD and the City. The CRD operates eight other satellite transfer stations located outside of the City limits. These satellite locations transfer their waste to CCTS, before being consolidated into 53-foot walking floor trailers, and then shipped to Gibraltar. Of the eight satellite transfer stations, the three closest to the City (and the majority of the region s population) are now manned with an attendant: Frost Creek, 150 Mile House, and Wildwood. They are not, however, able to scale vehicles. 6 March 2017 Page 1

14 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review In 2014, Multi Material BC (MMBC), a non-profit organization that is fully financed by industry to manage residential packaging and printed paper recycling programs in BC, either directly or by working with local governments, First Nations, private companies, and other non-profit organizations, began funding the collection, processing, and transportation of residential recycling in the City. The recycling depot and Share Shed located at the CCTS provide expanded recycling opportunities for residents to divert more recyclables and gently used items away from the landfill. MMBC provides funding for the collection at this facility of the recyclables that fall under the Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP) Stewardship Plan. This funding helps offset costs associated with operating the site. Waste Collective reviewed all aspects of the solid waste program for the City: City of Williams Lake: current residential collection program; Contracted Vendor: Central Cariboo Disposal; Central Cariboo Transfer Station: operations, layout, costs; City-provided residential waste collection: CCD: cost for service, cost to bring in house, vendor contract, scope of work, Multi-Unit Residential Dwellings (MURDs), comparable cities; Cariboo Regional District: contracts, policies and bylaws, rates, comparable regional districts and cities, cost sharing with the City; Current recycling options: CRD, MMBC, private offerings, policies, and bylaws; How to achieve greater transparency: residential costs for services, taxation, utility billing; Community engagement: past educational programs, advertising, website, , print; and Overall sustainability vision of the City of Williams Lake. 2 CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE CONTRACTED COLLECTION SERVICE The City provides all residents with collection from Single Family Dwellings (SFDs) and Multi- Unit Residential Dwellings (MURDs) throughout the City. The current collection service is contracted out to a local waste-hauling company, CCD, which has been serving the City for over 36 years. CCD is the only commercial waste-hauling company in the region, and provides service to residential and commercial clients throughout the central and south Cariboo Chilcotin area. The current contract between the City and CCD was renewed on March 31, 2014, and extends to May 31, The contract is for the weekly collection of residential garbage and recycling from SFDs and MURDs, as well as a small number of civic facilities. Refer to Appendix A for the Renewed 2014 Waste Collection Contract (CCD). 6 March 2017 Page 2

15 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review The City has supplied all SFDs with garbage and recycling totes containing Radio Frequency IDs (RFIDs) specific to the address. CCD, using their automated, hydraulic-armed, side-load collection vehicle, provides weekly collection service. As a contingency, a secondary backup vehicle is available, should this primary vehicle break down. The backup does not have the hydraulic arm, and requires the operator to manually move the totes to the truck, where a tote lifter empties the bin into the collection vehicle, a significantly slower collection method. The residents of the City receive collection on a four-day pickup schedule, serviced Monday to Thursday. Curbside garbage and recycling are collected on the same day. When a route is complete, the material is taken to the CCTS where it is weighed. Garbage is dumped on the receiving floor, from where it is collected for transfer to the Gibraltar Landfill. Single-stream recycling is taken to CCD, where it is processed on behalf of MMBC, and then shipped to downstream processors. Refer to Appendix B for the City s Garbage and Recycling Collection Schedule. MURDs have two collection options: either takes part in the residential curbside collection service using totes, or they can choose to receive collection using commercial front-end load (FEL) bins. If the MURD decides to go with the FEL service, CCD will supply 2, 3, 4, or 6 cubic yard (y 3 ) bins, depending on their requirements and space. A monthly rental fee is charged to the MURD based on the size of bin provided. Unlike SFDs, MURDs are not required to have recycling in place for their residents. In 2016, as per the terms of the contract between the City and CCD, monthly compensation was paid out to CCD based on the number of SFDs and MURDs at a rate of $9.54 per door. The total number of units billed to the City on a monthly basis is 4,735, for a monthly cost of $45, In a June letter from Mr. Vince Benner, General Manager of CCD, to Mr. Joe Engelberts, the City s Manager of Utilities and Fleet, CCD notified the City that, due to MMBC taking over the responsibility of the single-stream recycling costs for processing and marketing of residential recyclables collected on behalf of the City, as of January 1, 2017, CCD would be providing a 10% price rollback on the residential collection contract. As long as MMBC or a similar entity continued to cover the costs of processing and marketing single-stream recycling, then the rollback would stay in effect. The new per unit rate as of January 1, 2017 is $8.42. Refer to Appendix C for the CCD Letter by Mr. Benner. 6 March 2017 Page 3

16 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 2.1 Multi-Material British Columbia In 2014, MMBC began funding the collection, processing, and transportation of the residential recycling program in the City. The Recycling Regulation (the Regulation) of BC s Environmental Management Act (2004) was amended in 2011 to shift responsibility for end-of-life management of packaging and printed paper from governments and their taxpayers to the businesses that produce these materials. After more than two years of planning and consultation, MMBC submitted its PPP Stewardship Plan, which the BC Ministry of Environment (MOE) approved in April In May 2014, the amendments to the Regulation came into effect, and MMBC s collection system began operating in communities throughout BC. When MMBC originally engaged with the City, MMBC offered three options to municipalities for the PPP Stewardship plan, MMBC s residential PPP recycling program: 1. MMBC would take over the collection, costs, and direction of the residential collection program for the City: the City would no longer have control of the recycling service provided to residents, but there would be no cost for collection to the City. 2. The City would continue providing residents with residential recycling collection. MMBC would subsidize costs associated with the collection of residential collection of single-stream recycling, and provide funding towards recycling education and recycling program communication. 3. MMBC would have no involvement with the City s residential recycling program, and offer no compensation. The City chose the second option, which provided financial compensation while maintaining the City control of the collection program. Table 1 shows the compensation the City received from MMBC in Table 1: Compensation from MMBC Collection # of Units Monthly Annual Curbside 3,593 $10, $121, MURD 1,142 $ $8, There are two contracts in place between the City and MMBC. Both contracts are for an initial five-year term. MMBC may extend the agreements up to two further periods of one year each by giving the City written notice not less than 180 days before the end of the initial term, or any such additional term or terms. These contracts are: 6 March 2017 Page 4

17 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 1. Statement of Work for Multi Family Building Collection Services Effective November 30, Statement of Work for Curbside Collection Services Effective November 30, Refer to Appendix A for the MMBC Contracts. To ensure that all options available to the City at the end of the initial five-year term with MMBC were transparent, Waste Collective contacted Mr. Jordan Best of MMBC, who manages the City account, for one main clarification point: Would Option #1 ( MMBC would take over the complete management and execution of the recycling program for the residents of Williams Lake ) be available to the City at the end of the initial five-year term if they chose to move in this direction? The answer received was non-committal. As of now, MMBC is reviewing their program, and has not made any commitments to extend this option at the completion of the initial contract to those municipalities that chose to go with maintaining control of the service provided to their residents. This does not mean this option would definitely be unavailable, it just means that they have not committed to it as of this date. Mr. Best did make one interesting point that will need to be reviewed by MMBC before any future options for the City can be determined: Currently, MMBC does not provide service to any municipalities using the tote collection method, which the City currently has in place. This is due to the typically high contamination levels found within this type of collection method. So far, the City is within the acceptable contamination levels under the MMBC program. MMBC s current involvement in the residential recycling program has provided a platform to reduce the collection costs to the City without having to disrupt the status quo of the service to the residents. CCD is under contract by the City to provide curbside and MURD residential recycling collection. CCD is also the locally contracted processor of PPP residential recycling through Green by Nature. Table 2: City of Williams Lake Key Contract Dates Service Contract Current Contract Completion Residential Collection Central Cariboo Disposal May 2017 Residential PPP Recycling MMBC November 2018 Due to the constantly evolving regulations and programs for the management of waste resources in British Columbia, it is important to have a clear, forward-looking strategy for the City that will include key stakeholders and service offerings. 6 March 2017 Page 5

18 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 2.2 Options Available to the City for Residential Collection Service There are two collection options available to the City for providing residential garbage and recycling collection for SFDs and MURDs. 1. The City contracts out the collection service to a private hauler (current method); 2. The City brings the residential collection service in house (both SFD and MURD?). 2.3 City Collection In house Many municipalities collect garbage and recycling for their residents with their own trucks. If the City was to consider bringing the residential curbside collection in house, there are a number of factors that would need to be considered before any final decision is made. Under a city-run collection service, the operations department of the City would provide all curbside residential collection. This service would require capital investments in vehicles, equipment, staffing, insurance, and customer service. Mr. Engelberts has generated an estimated budget for a city-run curbside collection service. The city-run collection program, as presented in the budget, removes MURDs from the City residential collection service. This would require MURDs to contract services with private waste companies to provide the service. For budgetary purposes, the removal of MURDs from the city-run collection program was presented as an operational cost savings of $115,758 in During Waste Collective s review of the budget, MMBC annual contributions discrepancies were identified. The removal of MURDs from the residential collection program would reduce the annual contribution by $8,313. As stated previously, the MMBC incentive is broken into two payments: 1. SFDs... $121, MURDs... $8,313 The original budgetary analysis factors in an estimated annual MMBC incentive of $148,000. Refer to Appendix D for the adjusted budget for the City to collect solid waste, the original budget for the City to collect solid waste and the City curbside only collection costs, MMBC incentive. 2.4 Customer Service With residential collection under the City s management, all phone calls, residential inquiries, complaints, bin replacements, contamination issues, missed pick-ups, and repairs will become the complete responsibility of city staff. This will add more work to already busy staff, and potentially require additional designated staff to manage. 6 March 2017 Page 6

19 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 2.5 Vehicle Breakdowns In January of 2017, CCD s primary collection vehicle had a major mechanical breakdown. This breakdown resulted in the use of the backup collection vehicle, which does not have the primary vehicle s automated hydraulic arm; the switch to the backup, manual vehicle resulted in a significantly slower collection method and delays to residential collection. The breakdown in January is a prime example of what can happen will happen. CCD s primary vehicle broke down with a significant problem that could not be quickly fixed. The backup vehicle was immediately put into action, but its less efficient method of collection meant they quickly fell behind, even with expanded hours of service and extra labour force. CCD was able to bring an additional truck from another region that CCD serves in the South Cariboo on an emergency basis until the primary vehicle was back on the road. What this example emphasizes is the value of having a vendor partner whose business it is to provide waste collection services. Under this scenario, the City would have spent significant extra unbudgeted resources to try to provide services to residents while fielding calls from the public about missed pickups and related issues. If a contract renewal for residential collection service is agreed upon between the City and CCD, Mr. Benner has committed to purchasing a second automated collection vehicle so that both the primary and backup trucks provide the same collection efficiency during primary vehicle downtime, avoiding a repeat of what happened in January MULTI-UNIT RESIDENTIAL DWELLING 3.1 MURDs under City Collection If MURDs were to be included under a proposed city-run service, the budgeted capital requirements to provide the service would increase significantly. It is understood that this was not part of the budgeting exercise presented by Mr. Engelberts; however, we felt it would be of value to present other factors that would require review if a complete residential service offering was considered. The majority of MURDs are serviced using a different type of collection method than the curbside tote service. The service is referred to as FEL. This is when 2, 3, 4, and 6 y 3 commercial bins are supplied and picked up using a FEL collection truck. This is not the same truck or service required for curbside collection. For the City to provide this service, the purchase of another primary vehicle for FEL collection would be required, as well as a backup truck to cover any primary vehicle downtime. 6 March 2017 Page 7

20 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Each FEL bin is estimated to cost between $400 and $700 to purchase and will require a minimal level of ongoing maintenance. Extra bins would need to be available for replacement or for new accounts. CCD currently charges monthly rental rates for the bins, allowing these costs to be recovered over time; however, an upfront investment would need to be made for the initial supply. To service these residents with the required vehicle and service level, a second driver would need to be hired on a part-time basis, as the number of MURDs requiring service would not justify a second full-time driver. 3.2 MURDs into Commercial Collection Under the current waste management program provided by the City, all MURDs receive contracted waste collection from CCD. Under this program, MURDs pay a portion of their taxes towards this service, based on the number of dwellings at the same rate as residential curbside. MURDs have the option of receiving totes, as with the curbside collection program, or they can request commercial waste bins from CCD for a monthly rental fee. The annual cost for waste collection services charged to residents on their annual property taxes, for both SFDs and MURDs, includes weekly garbage and recycling service. All SFDs with curbside collection received one garbage and one recycling tote, and are serviced through the residential curbside program. MURDs, however, were not mandated to have garbage and recycling services in place for the residents. Although the CRD has Bylaw 4950 in place, which bans recyclables from the landfill, enforcement has remained at the transfer station, with the majority of MURDs still without a residential recycling program. This has left a surprising number of City residents without recycling service, and has a direct effect on the total cost of providing waste management collection and infrastructure for the City. What stood out during our review was that MURD owners pay for the service whether they have collection in place or not. The only difference in cost to the MURD owners would be a monthly rental fee if they chose to go with a commercial collection bin through CCD, rather than a onetime purchase of a tote for curbside service; (refer to Bylaw No included in Appendix G. 6 March 2017 Page 8

21 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 3.3 MURDs by the Numbers CCD currently provides a total of 70 FEL bins to MURDs: 62 FEL bins are for the collection of garbage; 8 FEL bins are for single-stream recycling; There are currently 63 MURDs serviced by CCD; 28 MURDs have recycling in place; There are a total of 1,142 MURD units currently being serviced; 610 units have access to a residential recycling service; and 35 MURDs, representing 532 units, are still without recycling for residents. Figure 1 shows the percentage of MURDs serviced by CCD, and Figure 2 the number of units with and without recycling. Figure 1: 63 MURDS Serviced by Central Cariboo Disposal Figure 2: Units With and Without Recycling 6 March 2017 Page 9

22 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Under the current solid waste program, the City is responsible for providing residential garbage and recycling collection services for SFDs and MURDs. Under Schedule 1 of the waste collection contract between CCD and the City, Section 1.1, Definitions, MURDs are defined as: Multiple Unit Residential Building means a building which contains five or more dwelling units, excluding secondary suites; and Multiple Unit Residential Dwelling or MURD means a dwelling unit contained within a multiple unit residential building. By working with collection data from CCD and Mr. Engelberts, an updated spreadsheet was created specifically for MURDs that identified the following information: MURD sites receiving collection from CCD; Frequency of service; Number of bins on site; Bin sizes; Monthly waste capacity; Annual cost for service, billed through taxation; Annual bin rental costs, CCD; Projected costs for garbage service, commercial collection; Projected cost for recycling service, commercial collection for MURDs with recycling; and Difference in annual cost to the MURD owners, city versus commercial. Refer to Appendix D for the Multi-Unit Residential Dwelling data and to Appendix A for the 2014 waste Collection Contract between CCD and the City. 3.4 MURD Spreadsheet Summary The review of the MURD collection services revealed some very interesting data, that identifies opportunities to enhance waste diversion, and work with individual properties to provide rightsized collection services in line with the service levels for curbside SFDs. 23 out of 63 MURDs are receiving higher garbage collection service levels than would be in place with a comparable number of SFDs. Although there is a landfill ban on recyclables, 56% of MURDs do not have a recycling program. The result is an increased dependence on garbage collection. Without enforcement of this ban, there are no repercussions to the MURD owners for failing to provide residents with the necessary recycling infrastructure. With little governance over the current service levels at each property, there is no incentive for MURD owners to right-size service levels and divert recyclables away from the current garbage collection. 6 March 2017 Page 10

23 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Switching from the current city-provided collection program to a commercial service would initially result in significant cost increases for most MURD owners. These cost increases, however, could be reduced with basic analysis work to right-size the bins and required service frequency. Under the current curbside collection service, residents are provided with one 240 L tote for garbage and one 240 L tote for recycling. Service is provided once weekly for both services. Using this data, Waste Collective was able to calculate the allocated cubic yards of garbage capacity per month acceptable at each MURD based on the number of residential units. Commercial bins are sized by the cubic yard not litre. The following formula is used to calculate this capacity: MURD units x 4.33 (weekly service)/3 (240 L tote is equal to 0.33 y 3 ) = total monthly yard capacity. Refer to Appendix D for the MURD master spreadsheet. Waste generated at MURDs on a per dwelling basis is typically 50% of what is generated at singlefamily dwellings. A column tabbed as allocated yards at 50% of curbside levels has been included in the MURD spreadsheet, and is meant to present what the service levels for MURD owners could look like in conjunction with a comprehensive recycling program. To support our assertion that MURD service levels could be provided at 50% of the capacity provided to SFDs, we have included a document from the City of Vancouver titled Garbage and Recycling Storage Facility Supplement that includes infrastructure requirements based on estimated volumes of waste generated by Multi-Family Residential Buildings. They recommend an infrastructure capacity of 95 L/unit/week; 50% of curbside would allow for 120 L/unit/week. This recommended capacity would be part of a comprehensive waste management strategy that includes complete recycling diversion. Switching MURDs to a commercial collection program would place the onus on MURD owners to monitor infrastructure requirements, as there would be a direct correlation between service levels and direct costs. Recycling infrastructure and the diversion of recyclables away from the garbage presents another opportunity for MURDs to manage disposal costs. Currently MMBC provides the City with some compensation towards the collection of PPP recyclables from MURDs. What this program would look like with MURDs under commercial collection is unclear. The current MMBC contract is not up until November of Under commercial collection, MURDs would be susceptible to cost increases and overweight charges from their service provider. This is due to commercial haulers paying a per tonne rate to dispose of commercial waste at transfer stations, changing market conditions, and operational cost increases. Commercial disposal rates are based on allowable user weights of 50 kg per yard. 6 March 2017 Page 11

24 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 3.5 CCD MURD Garbage Disposal Compensation CCD provides collection for the majority of the MURDs using an FEL vehicle. This is the same vehicle that is used for the collection of commercial FEL waste, which makes the documentation of how much waste (by weight) is generated by the MURDs very difficult. CCD s FEL service for MURDs does not create enough density to cost-effectively designate a dedicated vehicle. Residential curbside collection is provided using a designated vehicle to provide a four day per week, ten hour a day service schedule. CCD and the City faced a challenge of how to ensure that CCD did not have to pay tipping fees on the residential MURD portion of their loads when they unloaded their waste at the transfer station at the end of each route. Since there is currently no way of determining the actual weight of the waste from MURDs, an agreement was made that provides for the first eight loads from CCD across the scale every month to be free. To determine if this was a fair compensation model for both parties, Waste Collective ran projected numbers based on the data chart generated for the MURDs. The goal of the exercise was to determine if eight loads per month seemed likely to be reasonable compensation for the number of yards of capacity being picked up by CCD on a monthly basis, and the acceptable weight per cubic yard based on the waste industry standard for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) of 50 kg per cubic yard. Total waste disposal capacity for MURDs actual monthly... 1,565.1 yd 3 Total projected MURD weight allowed based on 50 kg yard... 78,256 kg Total acceptable monthly weight by tonne tonnes Waste Collective then looked at the CCTS scale data from 2016 provided by Tera Grady, Supervisor of Solid Waste Management for the CRD. From this data, the average weight for the eight free loads per month was determined. Transactions found within the scale data coded as free loads per Total weight tonnes Average weight per load tonnes Average monthly weight per eight free loads tonnes Note: Waste Collective omitted the highest (9.7 tonnes) and lowest weights (0.49 tonnes) before determining the average weight per dump. Waste Collective concluded that the average monthly weight of tonnes for the eight free loads dumped at the CCTS as compensation for the monthly weight of garbage picked up at the MURDs fell within the acceptable total weight of 78.2 tonnes allowed based on the actual capacity and projected weight allowance. Unless the waste collection for MURDs can be done using a 6 March 2017 Page 12

25 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review dedicated vehicle and the waste is dumped at the CCTS before being mixed with commercial waste, the current methodology used for compensation, is in our opinion, fair for both parties. Refer to Appendix D for the 2016 Free Transactions data summary. 3.6 Residential Disposal Weights To get a general idea of the average weight of garbage being disposed of by SFDs and MURDs, we analyzed weights from the CCTS scale data. Residential Curbside disposal is tracked by the scale weight of the designated collection vehicle when unloading at the transfer station on collection days. This data provided an opportunity to generate a very accurate understanding of the weight being disposed of through curbside collection. By applying the number of residential units collected (3,593) into the annual scale weights we were able to determine that the average SFD generates 8.9 kg of garbage per week, or kg year. Without this same scale data for MURDs, we had to use the data compiled to determine CCD s compensation for the inclusion of MURD waste into their FEL collection service. From this data, Waste Collective was able to generate a ballpark assessment of how much garbage weight each MURD unit produces on a per week basis. Using the annual compensation weight of 701,520 kg it was determined that each unit produced an average of kg per week or kg per year. Environmental Reporting through the Province of British Columbia states that in 2014, British Columbians disposed an average of 520 kg of municipal solid waste per person. In 2014, the Regional District disposal rates for the Cariboo were 717 kg per person. Refer to Appendix D for the Municipal Solid Waste Disposal data in BC and the Curbside/MURD per Unit Weight The City of Williams Lake Recycling The residents of the City, with the support of MMBC, have a very robust recycling program in place. Curbside collection is provided to all SFDs, and is supported through various initiatives by the City and the CRD. The recycling depot and Share Shed located at the CCTS provide residents with free recycling of: Styrofoam; Mixed Containers; Glass; Printed paper; Cardboard; 6 March 2017 Page 13

26 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Soft Plastics; Propane Bottles; and Lead Acid Batteries. The Share Shed is a great community initiative where used items can be left for other residents to give them a second life. There are two significant opportunities for greater diversion in the City. 1. Mandatory MURD recycling; and 2. Mandatory business recycling. The enforcement of MURD recycling should be at the top of the list of initiatives to be implemented as soon as possible. There is absolutely no reason why MURDs should not be required to have recycling in place for residents under the current service or any potential change to a commercial service offering. The use of Bylaws to enforce mandatory recycling should be something considered by the City. Mandatory business recycling may be something that will require cooperation with the CRD as well as CCD to enforce, but should nonetheless be considered as well. How to enforce noncompliance or contamination issues will require consultation between the three stakeholders; however, with a recycling ban in place at the transfer station, and a comprehensive recycling program in place for residents, the natural progression is to work with businesses to embrace a more sustainable City by embracing zero waste initiatives like commercial recycling. 3.7 Private Sector Stewardship Recycling There is a youthfulness and enthusiasm for waste diversion and sustainability that appears to be growing within the City. This can be seen at the Recycling Depot, as well as with local emerging green businesses that are playing an important part to the overall sustainability of the City as they help drive education and change. The local Encorp is a great example of a younger generation of entrepreneurs looking to grow the local green economy through service offerings and community engagement. Encorp is a business solely focused on providing recycling services. Williams Lake Encorp owner, Phil Jang, offers deposit container and electronics recycling, but is actively looking to expand his recycling business into a broader scope of Stewardship recycling offerings. The City would benefit from continued collaboration with the CRD to expand the acceptable items at the recycling depot to include many of the stewardship materials currently only accepted at retail outlets like Canadian Tire, Staples, Rona, and Encorp. Partnerships with industry could easily be formed so that the depot becomes a one-stop shop for residents while being essentially a collection point for local industry partners to pick up from. 6 March 2017 Page 14

27 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 3.8 Expanded Recycling Offerings Residential and Commercial Organics Recycling Due to the relatively small population and lack of current infrastructure for processing, mandatory organics recycling would require a feasibility study to determine feedstock availability, infrastructure, collection, and processing costs. As part of a longterm vision for the City, this would be a great initiative. There are emerging companies that are specializing in urban, small-scale invessel composting businesses that may be perfect for a city the size of Williams Lake. Hop Compost is one of these emerging companies ( In the short term, the right approach would be to continue running pilot programs that encourage residential backyard and community composting, as well as banning green waste from the garbage with free disposal at CCTS. Waste Wise has also engaged with the community on traditional and some non-traditional composting methods like vermicomposting, using worms to capture worm castings and fertilizer tea. Like anything worthwhile, the key is starting early; the more that youth develop the habit of composting, the greater the success of any future collection program. 6 March 2017 Page 15

28 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Mattress and Box Spring Recycling A relatively new waste stream to be recycled, mattress, and box spring recycling require some careful consideration to determine the feasibility of the initiative. As it stands right now, mattress recycling is not a part of any Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) initiative, which means that the cost associated with the collection, transportation, and processing of this waste stream need to be recovered through tipping fees. For this initiative to be implemented, a disposal ban would need to be in place. A tipping fee would need to be charged that would cover all of the above costs, and a storage trailer would need to be parked at CCTS in order to collect a full load of mattresses before shipping to a downstream processor. Again, this would require an analysis to determine the feasibility and logistics of the initiative before any progress could be made. Possible engagement with local companies like Encorp could be a way of getting traction with the initiative, as could exploring collaborating with other communities to share in mattress collection and transportation costs. 6 March 2017 Page 16

29 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Recycling Education Initiatives The City has done a great job of reaching out to residents regarding the changes and updates to residential recycling initiatives. The key, as always, is constant education and reinforcement through various platforms. The use of radio, print, community engagement, and brochures are examples of initiatives undertaken by the City. Collectively they are a great way of reaching residents. One initiative that really stuck out during our review was the work of Waste Wise. In a city the size of Williams Lake, grassroots initiative like the ones embarked on by Waste Wise are an excellent way of engaging with the community. Whether it is working with students in the classroom, or providing recycling education at community events, having a consistent presence and relatable messaging for residents about various sustainable initiatives is a very powerful and fun way of reinforcing greater diversion in the community. During our discussion with Laura Noakes, Engineering Assistant for the City of Salmon Arm, she shared an initiative that was a huge success during their MMBC rollout program. They became community champions by going door-to-door educating and training their residents about the new MMBC recycling program. They also provided magnets showing what can go in the MMBC recycling curbside collection, and what must be taken to a depot. It was a great way of providing residents with a useful reference guide at home. Refer to Appendix E for the Recyclable Materials List, Waste Wise Bimonthly, and the Salmon Arm s Depot Magnet. 3.9 The City of Williams Lake Annual Cost for Solid Waste Management The City is responsible for costs associated with providing City residents and commercial businesses with solid waste management infrastructure and services. Residential curbside collection and MURD garbage and recycling collection only make up a portion of these costs. In conjunction with the CRD, costs to operate the Gibraltar Landfill and the CCTS are shared based 6 March 2017 Page 17

30 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review on mutually agreed upon percentages. How these percentages are determined will be presented later in this report. Table 3 shows the calculated 2016 shared costs. Table 3: 2016 Share Costs 2016 Amount Currently no contract Percentage Cost Residential (CRD) 50% $845, Commercial (CRD) 50% $845, City residential portion 47.4% $400, City commercial 96% $811, Subtotal $1,211, % Management Fee $36, User Fee 96% ($488,433.60) City portion $759, We have calculated the 2016 annual waste costs to the City below. We have also calculated the 2016 residential waste costs based on three different scenarios to determine an annual cost per unit that could be used in future for utility billing purposes. For these three scenarios, only the City residential portion of the shared costs, plus a 3% CRD management fee, has been applied. Refer to Appendix D for the 2016 Utility Cost Data and CRD Cost Sharing Options. Table 4 shows the 2016 City Solid Waste Management Costs: Residential Current with MURD and curbside collection; Residential MURDs removed from city-offered service; and Residential MURDs removed, city-provided curbside collection. Table 4: 2016 Annual Costs for the City of Williams Lake Cost ($) Solid Waste Management Gibraltar/CCTS the City portion $759, SRD Collection CCD $370, MURD Collection CCD $117, MMBC Incentive SRD MMBC incentive ($121,448.04) MURD MMBC incentive ($8,313.00) Annual cost to taxpayers $1,118, March 2017 Page 18

31 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Cost ($) Cost per Unit MURD and SRD 4,735 units 2016 actual shared costs, residential portion $412, SRD Collection CCD $370, MURD Collection CCD $117, MMBC Incentive SRD MMBC incentive ($121,448.04) MURD MMBC incentive ($8,313.00) Annual remaining cost to taxpayers $770, Per-unit annual utility cost $ Cost per unit, MURDs removed 3,593 units 2016 actual shared costs, residential portion $412, SRD Collection CCD $370, MMBC Incentive SRD MMBC incentive ($121,448.04) Annual remaining cost to residents $661, Per-unit annual utility cost $ Cost per unit, MURD removed, with city-run collection 3,593 units 2016 actual shared costs, residential portion $412, SRD collection City $339, MMBC Incentive SRD MMBC incentive ($121,448.04) Annual remaining cost to residents $630, Per-unit annual utility cost $ The figures in Table 4 were taken from for the City s Disposal Costs spreadsheet, which included in Appendix D. From these three residential scenarios, it can be ascertained that the current residential waste management program results in a lower cost per taxpaying unit. This is the result of having a larger number of units to blend the combined cost over. Scenario 2 removes MURDs from the City residential program. This results in an increased cost per unit of $21.30, or 13% over the current service offering. Scenario 3 removes MURDs from city services while bringing curbside residential collection in house. The result is an annual cost increase per unit of $12.68, or 8% over the current service offering. 6 March 2017 Page 19

32 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 3.10 Utility Billing Utility billing of waste management costs to taxpaying residents is an opportunity for the City to provide greater transparency of the actual costs associated with providing solid waste management infrastructure and services. If we were to use the 2016 actual waste costs under the current service offering by the City, each residential unit would be billed $ on their annual utility notice as their portion to provide the current infrastructure and service levels. By removing all residential waste costs from general taxation, the residents would now have a clearer understanding of what they are paying for and how their disposal habits can have a direct effect on the bottom line. Refer to Appendix F for the MAIS Tax Notice Generic Property Tax Example. A move to utility billing also places greater transparency and accountability on the City. City staff can work on making decisions with a complete understanding of the financial ramifications their decisions have for the residents. Emphasis can be placed on decisions that will help reduce costs to the residents, while continuing to provide top-level service and enhancing the sustainability of the region. Under a utility billing scenario, residents can become more engaged in the decision-making process relating to the sustainability of the City by fully understanding the financial consequences of maintaining the status quo services and infrastructure versus options that may be available to the city that will serve to better manage waste resources and costs for the future. There are many benefits to a utility billing system; however, under the current cost-sharing model with the CRD, any changes to the current residential collection program would have financial consequences to residents under city collection. For example, moving MURDs from residential collection into commercial would remove 1,142 units from sharing in the costs of providing residential infrastructure and service. This would mean that the remaining SRDs under city collection would be subsidising MURD residential use at CCTS and satellite transfer stations, as they would still fall under the 450 kg residential exemption limit, despite being serviced as commercial. By removing 24% of the residential taxation base, a user-pay system would undoubtedly need to be implemented at CCTS and all manned transfer stations. This would require a significant regional policy change by the CRD that is not currently part of their Solid Waste Management Plan. Refer to Appendix D for the Solid Waste Management Plan data for 2013 to Bylaw No of City of Williams Lake already makes reference to annual billing for services through utility billing. Refer to Appendix G for Bylaw March 2017 Page 20

33 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 3.11 Comparable Cities To help understand how the City compares with residential waste management at similar sized cities, we reached out to three other BC communities to gain an understanding of the residential collection programs in place for their residents. The cities we contacted were: Salmon Arm; Prince Rupert; and Quesnel. We asked the following questions: Do you provide in-house residential collection, or is it contracted out? Do you provide a recycling service, and what is MMBC s involvement? How do you bill residents for waste services? Would you change this? What is the annual cost to your residents for garbage and recycling services? What service and frequency does this annual cost cover? How much waste can be placed curbside on collection day? Do your residents get free disposal at the landfill? If so, what is the limit? Table 5: Residential Collection City Garbage MMBC Recycling Billing Annual cost Garbage/Recycling Salmon Arm, pop. 17,464 Contracted Through City Property taxes $ Garbage/Recycling Prince Rupert, pop. 12,508 In-house No Recycling Utilities $ Garbage only Quesnel, pop. 10,007 In-house MMBC contracted Garbage only $75.00 Garbage only Williams Lake, pop. 10,832 Contracted Through City Property taxes $ Garbage/Recycling Note: pop. = population 6 March 2017 Page 21

Waste transferred 75 km to Gibraltar landfill. 4 CARIBOO REGIONAL DISTRICT The CRD is responsible for the operations of the Gibraltar Landfill, the CCTS, and eight transfer stations outside of City limits that send waste to the transfer station before ending up at Gibraltar. Of the eight satellite locations, only three have attendants: 150 Mile House, Wildwood, and Frost Creek. 4.1 Gibraltar Landfill The Gibraltar landfill is located 75 km northwest of Williams Lake near the Town of McLeese Lake. The CRD spent ten years trying to find a new location for the Williams Lake Landfill on Frizzi Road, which was nearing its end of life. The management of the Gibraltar Mine proposed building the much-needed landfill on an area of their site that was not operating and on care and maintenance. Contrary to what many assume, the landfill is not located in one of Gibraltar s empty pits. Its permitted footprint is located on the outside edge and top of one of Gibraltar s waste rock disposal sites. We had an opportunity to tour the Gibraltar site and were very impressed with the attention to detail and cleanliness of the operation. A heavy emphasis is placed on mitigating the environmental impact of the mine and landfill on the surrounding area. The landfill is fully engineered, meaning its base is lined with an impermeable plastic that collects any landfill 6 March 2017 Page 22

35 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review leachate and diverts it to an on-site treatment system that includes an aeration pond, a settling pond, and three wetland systems. Daily covering of active landfill cells coupled with an innovative approach of erecting nets using reclaimed materials found on site to prevent scatter from escaping the landfill area has achieved exceptional landfill cleanliness. The CRD and the City share the costs of operating the Gibraltar landfill. What becomes apparent when visiting the site is the obvious financial benefits of locating the landfill where it is and having the Gibraltar staff operating the site. The existing infrastructure of heavy equipment, environmental reporting experience, staffing, and availability of ground cover aggregate and top soil, are examples of costs that would otherwise have inflated the budget were the CRD landfill to be operated at another site. Transportation costs associated with transferring waste from the City to Gibraltar is the only negative identified by our review. Those costs, however, are clearly overshadowed by having a world-class facility within the region and an operating partner that takes ownership of the facility and the impact on the environment. Refer to Appendix E for Becoming Waste Wise The Williams Lake and Area. 6 March 2017 Page 23

36 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 4.2 Central Cariboo Transfer Station The Central Cariboo Transfer Station (CCTS) located at 5025 Frizzi Road, has been operating since The site was originally operated as a landfill for City residents up until In 1999 and 2000, the 150 Mile, Horsefly, McLeese Lake, Wildwood, Frost Creek, Chimney Lake, Alexis Creek, and Riske Creek landfills were all converted into transfer stations, at which point the CCTS site began receiving CRD material. In October of 2003, all MSW was directed to the new Gibraltar Landfill, and the CCTS site was re-permitted as a Demolition, Construction, and Land Clearing (DCL) landfill only. The operation of the CCTS is the responsibility of the CRD, and is currently contracted out to Lake Excavating Ltd. The contractor has been in place since December 22, 2006, with the current contract expiring in the summer of In 2016, Lake Excavating Ltd was paid $37.25 per tonne plus $7.28 per tonne for fuel to load and transport waste from CCTS to the Gibraltar landfill. The CCTS operations consist of four areas. 1. Scale house, one operator; 2. Waste receiving building, one operator; 3. DCL landfill, one operator; and 4. Recycling depot, one operator Scale House The scale house operator is the point person for all transactions at the CCTS, and it is their job to ensure that the following procedures are followed: Identify where the person is from and input the vehicle data into the system; Identify if the waste is residential or commercial; Log the inbound weight of the vehicle; Determine what kind of waste is being dropped off; Based on the waste composition, direct the vehicle to the appropriate location to dump the material; Weigh the outgoing vehicle; and Charge the client according to the tipping fee rules. 6 March 2017 Page 24

37 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review DCL Landfill Waste Receiving Building The waste receiving building operator is in charge of ensuring the floor of the building is kept clean and that the waste is loaded into the transfer trailers that are sent to the Gibraltar landfill. The operator is also tasked with the identification of banned materials being disposed of in the facility. The DCL operator is in charge of making sure that all DCL materials are disposed of in the proper areas of the landfill. Of significant importance is the need to keep the wood waste free from contamination. This ensures that costs for grinding this material are kept low. Wood waste is ground by an outside contractor before being sent to the local energy facility Recycling Depot / Share Shed The depot operator is tasked with helping residents separate out their recyclables to prevent contamination, educating the public on what is recyclable and what is not, and operating a community sharing building for residents to leave used goods that may be useful for other residents. 6 March 2017 Page 25

38 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Tipping Fees Tipping fees for CCTS and Gibraltar Landfill are determined by the CRD; this information can be found in Bylaw No. 4950, which is included in Appendix G. Under Bylaw No. 4950, all waste is categorized and charged based on the weight of the material being disposed of at the facility. 6 March 2017 Page 26

39 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review There are two categories of tipping fees: 1. Commercial User Fees; and 2. Residential User Fees. Table 7: Main Tipping Fee Costs Item Residential/Commercial MSW 60 Clean wood waste 60 Demolition, construction, land-clearing waste (DCL) 180 Cost ($/t) Asphalt roofing 60 Leaves, grass No charge Concrete and rock 20 Non-segregated loads of the above 200 Note: Residential User Fees No charge for any of the above up to 450 kg Refer to Bylaw 4950 included in Appendix G 4.3 Commercial Tipping Fees For the most part, commercial and residential tipping fees are in line with each other. The one significant difference is the 450 kg free disposal by residential users. With such a high threshold, it makes sense that most people will try to pass themselves off as residential users to try to avoid the tipping fees. There is no minimum charge for most commercial waste, with the main exception being for DCL material, which has a minimum charge of $20. Under the current CRD Solid Waste Management Plan, landfill and transfer station costs are subsidized through taxation, unlike a user pay system where users of the facilities pay tipping fees that fund the operations of the facilities. 4.4 Cariboo Regional District and the City of Williams Lake Cost Sharing The CRD is responsible for the operations of the Gibraltar Landfill and the Central Cariboo Transfer Station, both servicing the City. Although both parties understand the need for a cost-sharing model, the methodology used to calculate the financial responsibility of both parties has been an ongoing topic of discussion. Currently the methodology used to determine the cost-sharing responsibilities are the same as a 2013 draft landfill agreement provided to us by the CRD. An updated landfill agreement has not been agreed to between the CRD and the City. We were provided copies of the 2013, 2014, and 2015 proposals. 6 March 2017 Page 27

40 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review From our conversations with members of the CRD and the City, we have concluded that there is a difference of opinion on the cost-sharing formula used to calculate the financial responsibility of both parties. To help shed some light on this topic, Waste Collective independently reviewed the current model and ran its own data report using the data from the CCTS scale. A copy of the 2016 actual costs of operating both facilities was provided by the CRD for our review and is included in Appendix D Costs Site costs; Insurance; Capital reserves; and Debt repayment Recycling Incentives MMBC CCTS payments; Green by Nature (GBN) payments; Ground wood waste payments; and Battery recycling payments. 4.5 User Fees Table 8 shows the 2016 user fees. Table 8: 2016 Site Costs Cost Actual costs $1,344, Insurance (CCTS & Gibraltar) $29, Capital reserves $252, Debt repayment $124, MMBC CCTS payments ($16,900.00) GBN payments ($29,461.00) Ground wood waste payments ($12,607.00) Battery payments ($1,130.00) Total shared costs $1,690, User fees $508, March 2017 Page 28

41 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Refer to Appendix D for the City s 2016 Actual Site Operating Costs and the 2016 Shared Cost Calculations. The costs are then separated into the residential and commercial categories, and given a percentage value to reflect the usage level of their category by the weight of waste disposed of at the facility. Under the current cost-sharing model, a 50% weighted percentage is applied to both categories: Residential... 50% Commercial... 50% Waste Collective ran the numbers using the scale data provided by the CRD to determine the actual weights generated by both categories, obtaining the following results: Residential... 52% Commercial... 48% Tera Grady of the CRD ran the same numbers and obtained the following results: Residential... 53% Commercial... 47% It is important to note that when using the scale data to calculate usage by category, the slightest inconsistency in the data set will have an effect on the final outcome. We ran our data sets independently of the CRD and were unable to confirm that the exact data was used to compare our findings. As long as the main categories were selected, however, the end result was always only a 1% to 2% variance, which was deemed acceptable for this exercise. Any further data comparisons to determine binding percentages between the City and the CRD would require exact data sets to be used by both parties. Note that scale data will vary from year to year Residential The 2016 residential percentage of the total shared cost (50%) is $845, The population of the City as a percentage of the total populations of the region (CRD) is then calculated and applied: CRD population... 22,854 City population... 10,832 The 2016 City residential portion is 47.4%, which equals a total of $400, March 2017 Page 29

42 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Commercial ICI (Institutional, Commercial, Industrial) The 2016 commercial percentage of the total shared costs (50%) is $845, The current methodology used to determine the cost of landfilling ICI waste is based on the assessed value of business and light industrial properties within their appropriate jurisdictions. The 2016 commercial portion is 96%, which equals a total of $811, At first glance, 96% may seem unfairly high, but when the scale data is analyzed to determine the proportion of City commercial use by weight versus CRD commercial use by weight, the numbers are very similar. Waste Collective ran the numbers using the scale data provided by the CRD and the result is as follows: City Commercial... 95% CRD Commercial... 5% Tera Grady of the CRD analyzed the same numbers and obtained the same results. To help offset the commercial ICI costs, the user fees collected are divided up using the same percentage as the commercial calculation. The City portion of the 2016 user fees (96%) comes to $488, % of the user fees came from commercial ICI transactions (Table 9). Table 9: 2016 Amount without an Agreement Percentage Cost Residential (CRD) 50% $845, Commercial (CRD) 50% $845, City residential portion 47.4% $400, City commercial 96% $811, Subtotal $1,211, % management fee $36, User fee 96% ($488,433.60) City portion $759, Note: Taken from CRD Cost Sharing Formula Options A document provided by Tera Grady, which is included in Appendix D, Cost Sharing Options, presents the 2016 cost-sharing amounts using five different methodologies used to come up with five different cost-sharing options to be used as a potential basis for a Landfill Use Agreement between the CRD and the City. 6 March 2017 Page 30

43 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review User Behaviour Closer analysis of the scale data, focusing beyond the total weights being generated by residential and commercial to look at the total number of transactions that were occurring at the transfer station, revealed information this data was telling us about the users of the facility. Although 52% of the weight disposed of at the facility consisted of residential waste, a look at the total number of transactions that occurred at the facility shows a percentage that is significantly higher. Of the 54,260 total residential and commercial transactions, 94% of them were residential. Total number of transactions 54,260 Total number of residential transactions 50,866 94% Total number of commercial transactions 3,394 6% Residential transactions under 450 kg 49,183 97% City residential transactions under 450 kg 30,835 61% CRD residential transactions under 450 kg 18,348 36% Commercial transactions less than or equal to 450 kg 1,071 32% Refer to Appendix D for the 2016 Scale Data for the City and CRD. Under the current cost-sharing formula, the City is responsible for 96% of the commercial ICI costs. To help offset this cost, the City will receive 96% of the user fees generated in 2016, equal to $488, There were 50,254 scale transactions less than or equal to 450 kg in 2016; of this, only 1,071 were commercial transactions. City and CRD residential transactions between 21 kg and 450 kg made up the highest percentage of total transactions, at 29,700, or 58%. City and CRD residential transactions 20 kg or less made up 19,183, or 38%. It is important to note that the usage behavior that we were able to analyze is only through the CCTS in the City, and solely from scale house data. There is an additional 4,500 kg of residential waste from outlying transfer stations that we were unable to analyze to understand usage levels and user behavior. The importance of the transfer stations operators ability to record data accurately is accentuated during a review of this nature. The operator is often the sole point of contact, and can often be placed in a difficult position with users. What is unique to the CCTS is the need to classify a user under the 450 kg free residential limit or as a commercial pay user. How do you identify commercial users when they are not in a marked commercial vehicle? The conflict that this 6 March 2017 Page 31

44 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review creates with some users is an issue that was discussed with the operator. This makes the commercial/residential classification challenging to enforce, as the low number of commercial transactions under 450 kg demonstrates. Residential taxpayers are funding the disposal of residential and commercial waste under the current system. Commercial ICI users pay $60/tonne to dispose of waste, when a more realistic cost per tonne for receiving, processing, and transporting material to Gibraltar is closer to $100/tonne. Refer to Appendix D for the Landfill Rate Increase, a CRD notice dated December 6, If the City was to look for immediate opportunities to further offset their portion of the commercial ICI shared costs, the focus should be placed on generating user fee revenue at CCTS. 97% of residential transactions came in under 450 kg, which means that the majority of the usage at the CCTS is generating no revenue. Other than revenue generation, the most effective way of reducing waste disposal costs for the CRD and the City is through residential waste reduction and recycling. There is a direct correlation between the costs of operating the CCTS and the amount of waste sent to Gibraltar, as the contracted operator of the site is compensated through waste generation, not diversion. Increased commercial and residential recycling, expanded use of the DCL facility, at-home composting, and CCTS green waste recycling will have a direct result on operating costs. With the expansion of Stewardship programs, as well as residential PPP collection through MMBC, there has never been a better time to educate the residents of the City and help change their disposal habits. Tools available to the CRD for changing behavioural habits around waste disposal include: Enhanced enforcement of Bylaws banning recyclables from the landfill; Lowering of free disposal limits; Increasing user fees; Minimum charges or administration fees; Education and community outreach; and Bylaws levying heavy fines for illegal dumping Mandatory commercial recycling, satellite transfer stations One of the bigger challenges for the CRD is the management and control of the outlying residential disposal sites. Only recently have the three closest sites to the City been staffed with an attendant to monitor usage of the site (150 Mile House, Wildwood, and Frost Creek). All three sites are within 15 km of the CCTS, and are intended primarily for CRD residents, but frequently used by outlying City residents as well. 6 March 2017 Page 32

45 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review Driving residential and commercial waste to the satellite facilities is undoubtedly something the CRD weighs heavily when considering any changes to tipping fees or lowering the residential user allowance. With the sites now secured with staff, increased controls and regulations can be implemented to help educate residents about where materials should be disposed of, with an emphasis on diversion instead of disposal. Staffing outlying transfer stations provides the CRD with a valuable tool to capture important user information and disposal habits. Although not part of the 2013 Cariboo Regional District Solid Waste Plan, staffing of these sites removes a significant barrier to a user pay system. This system will undoubtedly receive greater attention as the costs to staff, provide security, and monitor the sites continue to grow. Comparable Regional Districts have created user pay systems at similarly operated transfer stations without scaling capabilities. For those residents that do not receive residential curbside collection and rely on these sites as their primary waste disposal facility, easily executed annual pass systems can be implemented that would omit these residents from fees. 5 OTHER REGIONAL DISTRICTS We felt a review of the City s solid waste management program would not be complete without comparing the CRD with other regional districts waste generation, disposal rates, minimum charges, population proximities to landfills/transfer stations, and residential exemption limits (see Figure 3). In 2014, a review of solid waste generation by Regional District was put together by the MOE and posted on their website (env.gov.bc.ca). The disposal rates were estimated by the MOE based on available information. Out of 27 Regional Districts, the CRD ranked 23 rd for waste generation per person, at 717 kg. The only other Regional Districts to post higher per person disposal rates were: #27 Fraser Fort George kg #26 Peace River kg #25 Skeena Queen Charlotte kg #24 Kitimat Stikine kg 6 March 2017 Page 33

47 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review When comparing the Regional Districts in close proximity to the Cariboo, one notable fact would be the number that are in the top five garbage-producing regions per capita in the Province of BC. Granted, these numbers are from 2014, and will likely have improved with the increased recycling education and curbside residential recycling collection, but there is still a long way to go to catch up to the lowest producing regions. However, it can be done, and there is no reason why the City and the CRD cannot work collectively on an aggressive plan that will achieve better results in a shorter period of time. The other piece of data that stands out is that the majority of Regional Districts are using a user pay system, even at transfer stations without scaling capabilities. Refer to Appendix D for the City s Landfill Actual Data Sheets for 2013 and RECOMMENDATIONS Having completed a full analysis of the solid waste program in the City, including stakeholders, services and costs, Waste Collective offers the City the following recommendations to help drive positive change in the community. Over the next two years, the CRD and the City have an opportunity to align their interests to become a model sustainability leader in the region. In total, there are four contracts relating to waste management that are up for renegotiation or RFP. Each of these contracts is connected in one way or another, which creates an amazing opportunity to bring all parties together for a common goal. These contracts are: CCTS operational contract; City residential waste services contract; MMBC contract; and Landfill use agreement. 6.1 Bylaws Bylaws are a valuable tool in enforcing policies that benefit the communities for which they are written. To support increased transparency, residential cost reductions, and environmental initiatives, we suggest considering the following bylaws: Make recycling mandatory for all residential and commercial businesses; Develop and enforce deterrent level illegal dumping fines; and Move residential waste costs from general taxation to utility billing. 6 March 2017 Page 35

48 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review 6.2 CCTS The Central Cariboo Transfer Station is an integral part of any changes to the Solid Waste Strategy for the CRD and the City. As part of a continued effort to reduce landfill disposal, increase recycling, and lower residential waste costs for the City, we recommend: Strengthen the enforcement of the recycling ban; Phase in a significant reduction to the residential exemption limit: o o Phase 1 Reduce the limit from 450 kg to 100 kg; and Phase 2 Reduce the limit from 100 kg to 20 kg. Implement an administrative transaction fee, from $2 to $5; Consider limiting the number of free transactions available to residents per month; Include as part of any new CCTS operations contract financial incentives to enforce landfill bans, waste diversion, mixed load surcharges, reduced tonnage to the Gibraltar landfill, and revenue generation through user fees; and Include as part of any new CCTS operations contract an emphasis on having a CCTS operating partner that is actively involved in the waste and recycling industry and seeks to be an integral partner in creating a more sustainable region through stakeholder participation. 6.3 Operated Satellite Transfer Stations Monitor user levels during the Phase 1 CCTS implementation; ID and document all users of the facilities to determine where residents are from and gather data to help make future policy decisions; and Consider restricting usage of the facilities by City residents and businesses to drive users to CCTS, where greater recycling infrastructure exists and waste generation can be documented. 6.4 Community Outreach By meeting with representatives of the CRD, CCD, and the City, we were able to get an understanding of how special the City of Williams Lake truly is. With no exceptions, everyone that we met with cares deeply about the City and wants what is best for the community. It is our opinion that the representatives of all of the stakeholders involved in providing solid waste management services to the residents of the City should work closer together on initiatives that affect the community. To help foster this collective approach we recommend: 6 March 2017 Page 36

49 The City of Williams Lake Solid Waste Management Review In conjunction with the City, CRD, and CCD, create a sustainability group that will work collaboratively on potential programs and services, new recycling educational initiatives, and development of City goals and diversion targets; Identify individual residents, businesses, and community groups that may require recycling training, and provide grassroots education; Engage with schools to help educate students on sustainability in the City, what goes into providing the waste management services, the benefits of reducing waste disposal, what happens to the recycling, and how it all relates to taxpayers; and Work together to come up with resolutions to waste related issues in the community with action plans. The intention of these recommendations is not to make decisions on behalf of the City about the direction of the solid waste program, but hopefully to create dialogue and engagement between the City of Williams Lake, Cariboo Regional District, and Central Cariboo Disposal so that a cohesive plan can be formulated that will ultimately benefit the community and its residents. The City is in such a unique position to have provincial, municipal, and private stakeholders literally blocks away from each other, able to sit down and discuss the challenges facing solid waste management in the City, and work out solutions that are ultimately best for the community. How the City directs sustainability moving forward is not about politics, it is about doing the right thing, with the resources available; it s about thinking about the communities first so that the right decisions can be made, even if they re hard; and about being accountable to the community that you serve and the friends, coworkers, and family members that benefit from the decisions and services you are providing. The City has come a long way in a relatively short period of time to provide residents with a high level benchmark for sustainability services and infrastructure. As the 2014 provincial waste generation per capita presented, there is still room to improve. There is an opportunity over the next couple of years to really embrace zero waste principles and continue engagement with the community on how to change disposal habits and rewire behaviors that have been rooted for generations. Be bold! The City of Williams Lake may only be a city of just over 10,000 people, but that does not mean you cannot have big city ambitions. Yes, this report is about garbage and recycling. It is only trash, right? For some reason though, discussions about garbage, recycling, and the environment have the ability to motivate and energize people to make changes to their daily habits and purchasing decisions like nothing else. Recycling and environmental initiatives have been the catalyst for many emerging businesses and revitalization of communities throughout BC. 6 March 2017 Page 37

83 CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE 450 Mart Street, Williams Lake BC, V2G 1N3 (250) Statutory Holiday Changes Dear Resident There will be some changes coming to the day in which your solid waste and recycling is collected. Due to statutory holidays and the operational requirements of the City of Williams Lake and its solid waste contractor, the need to change your collection day will change when a statutory holiday is observed during the collection week. This is how the City plans to change your collection day for those weeks: If your collection day falls on a statutory holiday, the collection of your solid waste and recycling will not happen that day. Instead the collection day for the entire week will move ahead by one day. For example, if Monday is the statutory holiday, Monday s collection day will move to Tuesday, Tuesday s collection day will move to Wednesday, Wednesday s collection day will move to Thursday, Thursday s collection day will move to Friday. This change will only be for the week in which the statutory holiday occurred in. Collection days will return to normal the following week. Included with this flyer is next year s solid waste and recycling collection schedule including statutory holidays. The calendar has been color coded for ease of use. Yellow Mondays Blue Tuesdays Green Wednesdays Orange Thursdays Red statutory holidays Please place this schedule in a convenient location as a reminder to ensure your solid waste and recycling carts are at the curb on the correct day. If you have any questions, please contact the Manager Water & Waste at For recycling information, go to the MMBC RCBC websites and to view acceptable materials that can be recycled curb-side. Here are some easy do s and don ts that can assist in making the collection of recyclables and solid waste easier for you and the solid waste collection services. Do s Have the garbage/recycling cart at the curb before 7:00 am on your collection day. Ensure your carts are at least 1.5 meters apart. Carts that are too close will not be collected. Take the garbage/recycling cart off the curb the same day as it is collected. Record the serial number on the side of your cart to indentify your cart from your neighbors. Ensure the lid of the cart is fully closed. Partially open lids will not be collected. Clean all recyclables before putting them in the recycling container. Don ts Don t put anything in the recycling cart except: cardboard, plastics (1 through 7), metal food cans, and paper products including magazines, and paper cups. NO STYROFOAM OR GLASS. Don t put grass clippings or other organic material in the garbage or recycling carts. Organics can be composted or brought to the Frizzi Road Transfer Station for free. Don t leave your carts on the curb or put them out the night before. This interferes with winter snow removal and summer street cleaning. Don t put your cart any closer than 2 meters from any obstruction such as vehicles or landscaping. Don t take the carts with you when you move. The carts belong to that address, NOT TO YOU.

85 CITY OF WILLIAMS LAKE 450 MART STREET, WILLIAMS LAKE, BRITISH COLUMBIA V2G 1N3 TELEPHONE (250) FAX (250) Recycling in Williams Lake and BC The more we recycle the less waste we create. Aluminum, steel, plastic, cardboard, boxboard, foam and glass packaging, as well as cartons and printed paper, can efficiently be turned into new products and packaging. Even recycled packaging can be recycled again. When less recyclables end up in landfills, less of our land needs to be set aside for dumps, and the life cycle of our precious natural resources can be extended beyond just one use. Properly disposing of recyclables also helps keep garbage out of our oceans and natural environment. The New Plastics Economy: Rethinking the Future of Plastics, presented at the World Economic Forum in January 2016, reported that globally only 14% of plastics are collected for recycling, 40% are landfilled, and 32% end up leaked into the environment, including the coastal waters here in BC and the world s oceans. Further, the report s authors predict that by 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish, assuming fish stocks remain constant. There are many ways to recycle and even a greater list of recyclable items that we use in our everyday lives that can be sent away to have a second life. Keeping track on what can and cannot be recycled is a job that can be daunting and confusing to the most informed resident. This all changed with the advent of Multi-Materials British Columbia (MMBC). Businesses that supply packaging and printed paper to BC residents are now responsible for collecting and managing these materials so they can be recycled. Multi-Material BC, a non-profit organization financed by these businesses, is now responsible for residential recycling programs in many areas across BC, either directly or by working with local governments, First Nations, private companies and non-profit organizations. Through MMBC s packaging and printed paper recycling program, many BC residents are now able to recycle types of packaging that were not commonly included in curbside, multi-family and depot collection programs, including milk cartons, foam containers and packaging, plant pots, aluminum foil packaging, certain types of plastic film packaging and drink cups. MMBC is among more than 20 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs introduced in BC over the past two decades. Through these programs, industry is responsible for end-of-life management of items such as beverage containers, electronics, paint, used oil, tires and batteries. EPR is a way for businesses to manage the environmental impact of products during all stages of the product lifecycle, from selecting the materials used in production to collection and recycling when a product is no longer useful. In BC, how much recyclable materials are actually recycled? As the organization responsible for managing residential packaging and printed paper recycling throughout most of BC, MMBC recovers 80% of packaging and printed paper supplied to the BC market by its member businesses, recycling more than 185,000 metric tonnes every year. Over 93% of the material collected through MMBC s program is recycled and less than 7% requires landfill. The 7% that is not recyclable may include packaging types that are not able to be recycled because technology does not exist or the material is too contaminated to process. Why are some plastics not accepted for recycling? Many of the products we buy toys, electronics, personal care products, groceries and more come in plastic packaging. While much of this packaging is recyclable in BC, not all of it is. There are three main reasons why an item, plastic or otherwise, would not be accepted under the Multi-Material BC (MMBC) program: 1. It is a product. Only packaging and printed paper are covered by the BC Recycling Regulation and MMBC s stewardship program. 2. It is hazardous waste or collected under another program. Residents can contact the Recycling Council of BC for recycling and safe disposal options at 3. It cannot be recycled. This might be the case because current recycling technologies do not allow for that specific material to be processed, or there is currently no end market for the material. For more information on what types of Paper and Plastic Packaging are included, and what is excluded, go to MMBC s website,

86 What is MMBC doing to address the issue of non-recyclable plastics? MMBC is working with producers to support packaging innovation, with the goal of increasing recyclability; and is actively engaged and lending support to global efforts to be part of the solution when it comes to plastic waste. Solutions require broad international cooperation and innovation. Recycling is just one part of the solution, but an important one. Harmonized recycling systems such as MMBC s allow for greater efficiency of material diversion and a higher percentage of collected materials getting recycled. In the past couple of years, BC has become a leader in recycling, with audited data to show that 80% of packaging and printed paper, supplied to residents by MMBC s member businesses, was collected for recycling in What can I do, personally, about the plastic problem? First, keep up the great work with recycling your plastic packaging, and encourage others to do the same. Second, take the time to understand which plastics are accepted for curbside recycling in BC, where to bring other types of plastic (such as bags and overwrap) that are not collected at the curb ( Lastly, help keep the recycling stream clean (and ensure more plastics can have a second life) by excluding contaminants, products and plastics that are not yet recyclable, following tips for preparing your recycling such as ensuring containers are empty of food waste, rinsing away any organic materials, and following your recycling collector s sorting instructions. What can I recycle curbside in Williams Lake? Recycling programs generally fall into two categories; those managed by industry participants known as product stewards, and those run by local governments and supported by your tax dollars. The curbside recycling program in the City of Williams Lake allows all the products mentioned in the attached information to be recycled curbside. Other items that are recyclable that are not accepted curbside may be recyclable at a local recycling depot or a participating product steward. As mentioned above there are several reasons why some recyclables are not accepted under the City of Williams Lake s current curbside recycling program. In British Columbia, Industry Product Stewardship is a strategy to promote accountability over the entire life cycle of a product, from selection of material and design to it end-of-life. Companies that manufacture import and/or sell products and packaging must be responsible for their products from cradle to grave and must take back used products and manage them through reuse, recycling or energy production. In this way, product stewardship shifts from governments to private industry. Industry Product Stewardship is also referred to as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). The BC Recycling Regulation includes product categories for electronics, tires, beverage containers, used oil, oil filters and oil containers, paint, pharmaceuticals, and household hazardous wastes such as flammable liquids, solvents, pesticides, and gasoline. For any questions as to what products are included in the product stewardship program and where they are located in in BC, go to the Recyclopedia at The City of Williams Lake continues to be a great supporter of recycling in this province. In keeping with this commitment, the City of Williams Lake has partnered with MMBC in the curbside recycling program to ensure the progress of adding new recyclable materials to the curbside collection program continues to increase. Partnering with MMBC, the City of Williams Lake has obligations that need to be fulfilled; the main one being contamination. In a recent sampling done on the City s recycled materials being sent to MMBC s sorting facility, the material contained over 9% contamination which is well over the 3% allowable limit. Contamination included everything from organic material, garbage and other recyclable materials that are not part of the MMBC program. It is very important the only recyclables that are in the curbside recycling carts are the ones listed in the following information. For those recyclables that are not permitted curbside, they can be brought to a local depot for recycling. In summary, the City of Williams Lake residents can recycle all the materials illustrated in the attached information plus everything else that has a participating product steward in the area. More information on what can be recycled curbside and who in the area is a participating product steward can be found at: & Together we can throw out contamination!

93 June 17, 2016 Att. Joe Engelberts As you know since the inception of MMBC in May of 2014, we are no longer responsible for the cost of processing and marketing the single stream collected on behalf of the city. If you recall the single stream market really bottomed out in 2012 and 2013 and our average cost to market the city s single stream was approximately $50.00 per tonne. On top of that our cost to process is an additional $70.00 per tonne. If you add this to our average annual tonnage our cost to deal with this product was approximately $50, per year over that 2 year period. With this said, we have determined that as of January 1 st 2017 we will have been made whole by the past single stream cost overruns and can offer the city a 10% rollback on our curbside collection contract. This would be roughly equivalent to the $50, per year the single stream was costing us. As long as MMBC or a similar entity continues to cover the cost of processing and marketing single stream your curbside cost should be reset to this price with only minimal COLA increases moving forward.

111 Home ( / Sustainability ( / Sustainability ( id=ef b b93a9af) Municipal Solid Waste Disposal in B.C. ( ) This indicator reports the estimated amount of municipal solid waste disposed per person for each regional district and for British Columbia. Per-person disposal rate is an estimate of how many kilograms of solid waste one person sends to a landfill or other disposal site in a given year. Approximately 2.4 million tonnes of municipal solid waste was disposed of in B.C. in While there has been an overall decreasing trend in municipal solid waste disposal rates since the 1990's, much of the waste disposed of could be reduced (by not being generated in the first place), repurposed, composted or recycled. Waste reduction efforts will become more and more important as the B.C. population continues to increase ( landfills approach their capacity for receiving new waste, and the imperative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from waste disposal grows. Tracking waste disposal across B.C. is important as it provides historic trend information and the current status of waste disposal both of which inform and guide efforts to reduce the amount of waste we create. In 2014 British Columbians disposed of an average of 520 kg of municipal solid waste per person down 16 kg from British Columbia has set provincial waste disposal targets with a long-term goal of lowering the municipal solid waste disposal rate to 350 kg per person by Variability in disposal rates from one region to the next is influenced by factors such as population density, economic activity, distance to recycling markets, the role of various stewardship agencies operating in an area and the capacity and infrastructure in place in a region. While disposal rate data don t tell the whole story, they are useful in setting the stage for continuous improvement in waste management in B.C. The charts below show the estimated per person weight of solid waste disposed of in 2014 for each regional district and the province as a whole, as well as a history of disposal rates for each region. What is Included in Disposal Rate?

112 Disposal rates reported here include waste from the residential sector, institutional, commercial, and light industrial sources as well as waste from construction, demolition and renovation activities. Disposal rates do not include hazardous, biomedical, or agricultural waste, motor vehicles or components, heavy industry, or contaminated soil. Waste that is reused or recycled is also not included. Your screen is too small to display the interactive charts. Click to see the interactive vizualization in full-screen. (msw_viz/) Notes about disposal rates: 2014 disposal rates were provided by regional districts through the completion of the municipal solid waste disposal calculator. In limited cases where data was missing, the 2014 disposal rates were estimated by the Ministry of Environment based on available information. Where no bar is shown on a chart for certain previous years, a verifiable estimate was not available. Historic disposal rates cannot be directly compared between years because the data were collected using different methods. However, the data from 2012 onward have been collected using the same methodology.

113 In some cases, waste from light industry may be included in the MSW disposal rate data as it cannot be disaggregated. The Squamish-Lillooet and East Kootenay per capita disposal rates account for tourist and visitor populations, which are significant for these areas. Disposal rates for Comox Valley and Strathcona are reported as one as they handle their waste stream together ( Beginning in 2014, the disposal rate for Northern Rockies was derived by removing bulky-waste commercial from their disposal total. This waste stream comes from oil and gas industrial processes which is excluded from municipal solid waste. Regional districts that wish to update the waste disposal data reported above should contact the Environmental Standards Branch at Input from regional districts will also serve to inform future waste reporting methodology development.

Home Columns Environment Health & Wellness Country Living Technology Arts & Education Green Business BECOMING WASTE WISE The Williams Lake and Area Regional Landfill September 6, 2013 Filed under: Recycling,Waste Wise Series Posted by: KS By Tera Grady Part of the Cariboo Regional District s Solid Waste Info Series: The garbage from Williams Lake and area, including 150 Mile House, Horsefly, Wildwood, McLeese, Frost Creek, Chimney Lake, Alexis Creek, and Riske Creek, is disposed of at the Cariboo Regional District s (CRD) Gibraltar Landfill. Two to four loads of waste are transported to the landfill in 53-foot walking floor trailers five days a week, each weighing approximately 19 tonnes. Annually there are between 12,000 and 13,000 tonnes of waste disposed of at the landfill. Waste is compacted onsite with landfill equipment into threemetre-thick layers. Once the layer or cell is completed, soil cover material is placed and compacted along the outside edges and top of the cell to encase the waste. This helps to keep out moisture, oxygen, and vectors like birds and flies. If a cell is not completed at the end of a shift, it is covered with an Alternate Daily Cover (ADC) constructed out of old conveyor belts, which keeps any precipitation and vectors out in the short term, as well as keeps the scatter (windblown garbage like plastic bags) to a minimum. Above-ground nets strung between old telephone poles are used along the edge of the Landfill to catch any scatter that is airborne during daily operations. An electrified bear fence also surrounds the Landfill to keep the larger vectors like bears and coyotes out of the site. Historically, landfills in the Cariboo have been naturally attenuating sites, meaning they are located in areas with substrate that is not well drained. This means that if any landfill leachate is generated it will stay within the landfill footprint rather than leach into the groundwater. The low-precipitation climate in the Cariboo also makes for good landfill locations. This is the reason the Cash Creek Landfill was established where it is it creates the same amount of leachate in one year as the Vancouver Landfill creates in one day.

Eight sites were identified, but after 40 meetings over a decade,not one site was found acceptable by the public. In 2001, management at Gibraltar Mine proposed building the much needed landfill on their site which was not operating and on care and maintenance. The site was proposed as socially, environmentally, and economically sustainable as there would be no further disturbance of the environment and most of the needed infrastructure was already in place. The CRD hired an engineering firm to construct and engineer a state of the art landfill. Gibraltar and the CRD entered into a contract in which Gibraltar would operate the landfill for the CRD. Construction began on April 1, 2003 and the first load of solid waste arrived October 1, The total permitted footprint of this site is 15.6 hectares and a final elevation of 1,250m. The estimated lifespan is between 60 and 100 years.

120 The Landfill operates under a permit to CRD under the provincial Environmental Management Act. Gibraltar s staff conducts daily and weekly inspections; the CRD conducts quarterly inspections; and, the Ministry of Environment inspects the site bi-annually. The Landfill is fully engineered, meaning its base is lined with an impermeable plastic that collects any landfill leachate and diverts it to an on-site treatment system, consisting of an aeration pond, a settling pond, and three wetland systems. Once a section or phase of the Landfill is completed it is closed and reclaimed by placing the same impermeable plastic liner over the top of the waste to prevent any infiltration of precipitation. The top is capped with soil and seeded with grasses. The Landfill is not located in one of Gibraltar s empty pits, as many assume. Its permitted footprint is located on the outside edge and top of one of Gibraltar s waste rock disposal sites. Landfill construction has been focused on filling beside and against the outside edge of the rock dump slope to reach the same elevation as the rock dump s top plateau. Since 2003 several phases of expansion and reclamation have been completed and in 2014 the first expansion will occur on the top of the plateau, which will allow several years of landfilling without expansion construction. The landfill costs amount to well over a million dollars annually or approximately $100 per tonne of waste. These costs are shared by the City of Williams Lake and the CRD, and can be reduced through waste reduction and diversion. The Conference Board of Canada recently compared the amount of municipal waste generated per capita, measured in kilograms between 17 countries, and Canada ranked last place, meaning per capita Canadians produce more waste (777kg per capita per year) than any of its peer countries. Since 1990, Canada s waste generation per capita has been steadily increasing causing us to fall behind the US and Australia. This is disturbing news, but understandable when we look at how many disposable and poorly made goods we purchase yearly. What can you do to help? The waste reduction hierarchy lists the first action as AVOID (or refuse); just don t buy it in the first place. Next is REDUCE: if you know you toss out the remains of last week s celery every week, start buying less of it. Third is REUSE: before you purchase something new, check out your local thrift store, second hand shop, or share shed. Before you throw something away ask yourself if someone else might find it useful, donate it to a thrift store, try to sell it, or drop it off at your local share shed. Fourth is RECYCLE: this isn t limited to household items like old newspapers and cereal boxes; this includes all electronics and appliances, batteries, used oil and antifreeze, compact florescent light bulbs, paint, tires, metal, and organics like food and yard waste. Next is RECOVER, which refers to recovering energy from waste. In our area, this isn t an option for the majority of waste that is left-over after all of the other actions are taken, but it does apply to wood waste. In the Williams Lake area nonreusable wood waste dropped off at your local wood waste yard is ground up and sent to the Atlantic Power co-generation plant. TREAT includes in vessel, large scale regional composting systems where high heat is used to treat all food waste including meat and dairy, something that is not yet available in our area. The last action is DISPOSE. More about composting: Approximately 21 percent of waste is food waste. Not all of it is suitable for backyard composters, but all of your veggie and fruit waste can be mixed with your leaves, newspapers, or brown paper bags to create nutrient rich soil for your gardens or yards. Bread, pastas, and meat waste would surely be loved by one of your pets, and if you don t have a pet maybe a worm composter is of interest. If you live or work in Williams Lake sdowntown core, learn about the Potato House composting program. For $10 you, or your employer can purchase a counter-top container to collect your veggie and fruit waste, which can be dropped off in the on-site pallet composters. They are also accepting leaves and grass waste. The CRD will be subsidising backyard composters again in the spring of talktrash@cariboord.bc.ca to sign up for advanced sales. More about recycling: Approximately 20 percent of waste is paper and paper board, glass makes up 3 percent, plastics are approximately 12 percent, and metals come in at about 5 percent. With the exception of glass, all of these types of waste are accepted in the curbside recycling program run by the City of Williams Lake. CRD residents can use the recycling depot at the Central Cariboo Transfer Station on Frizzi for all of these types of waste, including glass.

121 Recycling isn t just for at home. Contact the local garbage and recycling hauler to find out how you can recycle at work. In 2014, residential access to recycling will increase with implementation of the CRD s new Solid Waste Management Plan, and the provincially mandated Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR) program will also be expanding to include all printed paper and packaging. This means styrofoam and plastic bags as well as any other food or product packaging will be recyclable.

155 Cariboo Chilcotin Conservation Society (CCCS) Unit 102, nd Avenue N., Williams Lake, BC V2G 1Z5, waterwise@ccconserv.org MAR/APR 2016 WASTE WISE PROGRAM BI-MONTHLY REPORT In the Classroom The Dairy Fields has a wonderful new series of walking trails created by Scout Island Nature Centre in partnership with local schools, but with more use, there has been an increase in trash as well. Two classes from Nesika participated in a fun wander and litter pick in celebration of Earth Day and enjoyed the beautiful spring sunshine. Whoever said litter picking is a punishment hasn t gone for a walk with Waste Wise in the woods! Dump Tours have had the best attendance this year in comparison to all previous years with bookings already filling every Tuesday until the end of the school year! We even had Mayor Walt Cobb and Councillor Sue Zacharias join us for a tour of the Recycling Bailer. Mary had a great conversation with Sue about the glass recycling program and how all the sorted coloured glass from the Return it Program is processed at United Concrete in Vancouver in addition to all the co-mingled glass that gets ground up in Quesnel as a sand blasting product. Worm composting is very popular with two new schools signing up and 4 Worm Cyclers (worm composting boxes) sold to residents in a quick month. Compost coaching is catching on this year as well. With presentations to home schoolers and residents, people are really getting the composting bug. The biggest thing that can turn your compost bin from a slime ball to productive soil is adding twice as many mulched leaves as green kitchen waste to your bin. To mulch your leaves you can run over them with a mower on your grass, or put them into a plastic garbage bin and put in a weed whacker like an immersion blender. Earth Challenge Event April 22 nd. All 9 grade 7 classes participated and it was our best Earth Challenge yet. Participating Science organizations were Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), UBC Alex Fraser Research Forest, Scout Island Nature Centre, Air Quality Round Table, Invasive Plant Committtee, Mount Polley Mine Environmental Dpt. The quiz format was changed this year to make it manageable with 8 teams, and it all ran extremely smoothly. Waste Wise instructor, Mary Forbes, addresses the students at the 2016 Earth Challenge Event Check out more pictures of the 2016 Earth Challenge Event right here!

156 In the Community The biggest new thing in recycling is the Recycling Trailer! Made from a repurposed tent trailer, it travels, educates, provides a rinsing station, has built in recycling bins for everything curb-side collects and more, including small household and cell phone batteries, used pens and empty cosmetic containers. Of course, it also collects compost! The Recycle Trailer has attended two Seedy Saturdays and the April 3 rd Take Back the Park event providing on site recycling and a covered venue for a partner to present from as well-invasive Plants has made some great conversations from this converted recreational vehicle. Green Events are a very popular option and offering in our community, and now with the Recycle Trailer in tow, the service just got a lot easier to offer! See us in action at the Bike Rodeo April 30 th, Mother s Day Market in McLeese Lake, Children s Fest May 29 th, Father s Day Multicultural Powwow at Sugarcane June 11&12, Aboriginal Day June 21 st, the Williams Lake Stampede and Canada Day celebrations. There are some big conventions happening in the lake city this summer and from Shriners to a 4000 delegate First Nations Elder s Gathering, keep your eyes open for the converted orange striped Tent Trailer that takes all your recyclables, compost and more! Bike Rodeo is happening April 30 th in the Canadian Tire side parking lot with free helmets, Bikes for All-the Williams Lake Bike recycling program, operated through Waste Wise where we give away gently used bikes to families in need. This program is so popular that Mary will be at Canadian Tire at 8am Saturday to do some initial bike re-homing as the operating hours of 11am to 2pm is not long enough to accommodate all the requests. Waste Wise Educator, Mary Forbes, and her newlyconverted, mobile recycling centre! 6pm Friday Night, April 29 th the night before the bike rodeo, a children s bike safety show will be performed at the Gibraltar Room by The Purple Pirate. Fun for kids and adults, Bikes for All will be there taking requests and promoting our program to the masses. Earth Day Celebration in Quesnel hosted by Baker Creek Enhancement Society was very well attended and had so many requests, it is possible it might go to three days for As always Waste Wise was a booth full of running, recycling and revealing ways to not make waste. In a later encounter with a grade one teacher from Dragon Lake Elementary who confided the Waste Wise booth was the best and she and her fellow teachers were again impressed at how adaptive Waste Wise is as a topic and how in tune those presentations are for young and old audiences. Good job, Waste Wise! In a last minute request, Waste Wise made it out to Xatsull Soda Creek First Nation to provide a composting workshop when their planned presenter was called away unexpectedly. With 15 attendees, a delicious salad for dinner and prizes for participants, everyone had a great time talking about making no trash. The list of new Green Event Hosts is growing, and we recently (April 2 nd ) completed our first large Green Event run, for the 2016 TRU Gala. With close to 200 people attending, we

157 diverted 55.5 pounds of food waste, and various recyclables. Waste Wise has acquired 4 new compost bins to use at various events for food waste diversion, along with signage, promo materials, (at left) and staff support.

I was so impressed with how clean everything looked when I went to check the bins the next day. Thank you very much for taking care of everything! From our end, I thought everything ran very smoothly. I was very happy with how everything looked the next day and how efficiently you and your team worked. I think you arrived at a good time and really have nothing but good things to say. The food area was left much cleaner than it was last year!.thanks again, Brianna, for the time and coordination you put into this project. - Myrissa Krenzler, TRU WL Events and Marketing Coordinator

190 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ S) When will the changes to the tipping fee structure take effect? The tipping fee changes will be effective June 1, The new fee structure will form part of a larger review and amendment to Refuse Disposal Facilities Tipping Fee and Regulation Bylaw No What are tipping fees used for? Tipping fees are used for operational and capital expenses incurred at the CSRD s four regional landfills and eight rural transfer stations that are in place from the Golden area to the North Shuswap and many points in between. The CSRD s solid waste management program is not taxed, it is funded solely by user fees. Why are tipping fees increasing? An increase in tipping fees is necessary to ensure landfill closure and post closure costs are fully funded. A 2016 study found that current tipping fees do not provide enough funds to justify the full extent of refuse site operation and maintenance costs and capital closure and post closure costs. Why did the CSRD impose a minimum user fee on garbage bags? Each user of a CSRD landfill/transfer station contributes to the fixed costs of the site, from the use of internal roads, bins and the scale, as well as fixed transaction costs associated with printing receipts and computer vehicle tracking. Although the actual fee for a bag of garbage did not change from $2 a bag, using the site will cost a minimum of $5. Users are encouraged to subscribe to a waste hauler or partner with their neighbours to bring multiple bags to the site and maximize the efficiency of site visits. What can I do to reduce the amount of garbage I produce? The CSRD does not impose a user fee for depositing recyclables at CSRD landfills, transfer stations and depots. Please visit the CSRD s website for further information on what materials can be recycled. Did you realize that 30% of household waste is comprised of food waste? The CSRD sells backyard composters at a reduced rate to help you reduce your food waste and create a reusable product. What if I mix my recycling in with my garbage? Mixing recyclable material in with your garbage will result in additional fees charged. Please ensure recyclables are not deposited in the landfill. Refer to the CSRD website for more details. For further information please contact the Columbia Shuswap Regional District at or toll free at or visit the CSRD website at
