The results of the referendum for curbside collection services in defined portions of Areas F and H/Area J mean that the proposal will not go ahead. RDCK staff and Directors thank the voters for turning up and casting their ballots.

From the beginning of the process, the RDCK was committed to ensuring the electors made the decision on if services should proceed or not, and is pleased that voter turnout for this process was substantial.

Between 2019 and 2023, the RDCK conducted two rounds of consultation and a feasibility study on the proposed services. The decision by the Board of Directors to bring the proposals to referendum was based on public feedback which indicated reasonable support, and solid waste management research that shows curbside services for all three streams of waste decrease the amount that households send to landfill, and increases diversion of recycling and food waste.

As part of the RDCK’s Resource Recovery Plan, reducing household waste that ends up in our limited landfills remains a priority. We remain committed to looking for ways to support residents and businesses in reducing their waste, and participating in services to separate and divert compostable and recyclable materials from our landfills.”

This project page is being phased out due to the results of the Assent Vote.
We thank all those that participated in the engagement and democratic process for these proposed services.
