On Sunday, June 7, Jessica Boquist and myself picked up 27 bags of illegally dumped drywall and house insulation at Muir Creek, west of Sooke.
Aside from the eco-criminality of the dumping, I think there could be a related concern of the cost of proper disposal: $5 per bag. But then, it could be argued that this expense should be taken into account as part of home building/renovation, therefore zero excuse for illegal dumping, particularly near a waterway and beautiful walking trail.
Hopefully the perpetrators will read or hear about this letter and be ashamed enough of their behavior to never do this again.
