Final week to provide input on curbside food waste collection
Public Service Announcement
The Regional District of Central Okanagan reminds residents that there is one week left to weigh in on Phase Two of the curbside food waste public engagement initiative. Since launching on June 3, close to 3,000 people have shared their thoughts on the future of food waste collection in the Central Okanagan.
Until July 2, 2024, residents are invited to complete a short survey at yoursay.rdco.com for their chance to win one of five $50 grocery store gift cards.
The purpose of Phase Two is to gather more specific feedback to help shape what food waste collection in the Central Okanagan could look like, including:
- Elements to be considered when locating a transfer station
- How often your garbage is collected, weekly or biweekly
- Costs related to collection, transport, and processing of food waste
- Further opportunities for engagement
- Residents’ preferred methods for education and outreach
Prefer pen and paper? Printed surveys will also be available at the front counters of municipal halls across the region as well as the administration office at the Glenmore Landfill. Paper surveys must be received by July 2, 2024, at the RDCO office at 1450 KLO Road, and marked to the attention of the Engineering Department.
For more information on the proposed food waste collection program, and to share your input, visit yoursay.rdco.com.
