Anahim Lk Share Shed burns down

Courtesy of the Cariboo Regional District:

The Cariboo Regional District’s (CRD) West Chilcotin Landfill Share Shed was burnt down in the afternoon of Sunday August 5, 2012. The cause of the fire is not yet known, however arson is suspected and surveillance camera data is currently being reviewed. If anyone has information on the fire, please contact the Cariboo Regional District’s Solid Waste Management Department at 250-392-3351 or toll free at 1-800-665-1636. Tips and information reported to the CRD will remain anonymous.

Share sheds across the CRD are provided for the reuse of household items, which reduces landfill material and promotes the recycling. However, the abuse and vandalism of share sheds is increasing the maintenance and operating costs to taxpayers throughout the region.

The West Chilcotin Share Shed could be replaced, but the CRD needs feedback from community members that a new shed is desired. To provide comments, or for further information about the CRD’s Solid Waste Management program, call 1-800-665-1636, email talktrash@cariboord.bc.ca, or visit us online at www.cariboord.bc.ca.
