Councillors unanimously declassified an in-camera resolution at Dec. 10 District of 100 Mile House council meeting that paves the way for curbside recycling to begin in the municipality in May 2014.
Council ratified the South Cariboo Joint Committee – made up of Cariboo Regional District and 100 Mile House politicians – recommendation to accept Central Cariboo Disposal Services’ (CCDS) proposal for automated curbside garbage and recycling services.
Councillors also agreed to accept the incentive offer from Multi Material BC for curbside collection of packaging and printed material within the District’s boundaries.
Council unanimously agreed to kill the current termination date of CCDS’s contract and amend it to May 2019.
Mayor Mitch Campsall notes that including the Multi Material BC incentive, the recycling service will cost taxpayers about $9,000 a year or around $1.36 per month per household.
He says the District is not paying for the recycling or garbage totes, as that cost is being picked up by the CCDS.
