Wildwood Transfer Station Mtg - August 26th/2014

Before 20 local residents - CRD Staff and Director Bischoff updated those present as to the forthcoming changes to the Wildwood Transfer Station

Tera Grady - the Cariboo RD's Solid Waste Supervisor ran through a 30 min Powerpoint presentation

A Question/Answer period ensued.  Questions asked included:

* Will you deal with illegal dumping on Lund Rd? Answer - Yes.  Call the CRD and we will come and clean that up

* Composter program in the future?
* "Eco-Depots" in Rural Areas? Answer - Too expensive to do in all rural areas + Municipalities thus why it is being centralized in Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House when that comes on-line in 2017

* Will controlled access help prevent Williams Lake residents' from using our Transfer Station and take their Solid Waste to the Central Cariboo Transfer Station in Williams Lake? Answer: Yes

Residents' were generally receptive of the forthcoming changes of the Wildwood Transfer Station and the survey results, due Sept 23rd (electronic version here), should give an direction of what hours residents' are prepared to accept

Finally - job well done by Ms. Grady and Mitch Minchau, the Regional District's Manager of Environmental Services for running an excellent meeting and answering every question....
