Niether the GVRD nor the B.C. Hazardous Waste Management Corporation will be coordinating
a Household Hazardous Waste pickup program in 1992. Since there is no coordination effort
available through the Provincial Government or GVRD and Municipalities are left on their own
to institute their own programs. In this regard, we have been dealing with Leslie Jones of
Laidlaw with the possibility of setting up our own household hazardous waste collection day
with Coquitlam, Port Moody, and possibly some other adjoining Municipalities. Leslie Jones is
taking the lead role in initially contacting all the Municipalities and acting as Co-ordinator, and
she attended the EPC meeting on January 29, 1992 to outline her plans and to seek support. We
have allowed $15,000 in our 1992 budget and at this point it still appears to be an appropriate

amount for a one day participation.

EPC has discussed this matter on two previous occasions, but has not arrived at any decision. In
order to assist in this matter, we are currently researching other Municipalities including
Victoria which has recently instituted a one can garbage limit, and will have a report available
for EPC by mid February, 1992. It is anticipated that we will be recommending a two can limit
with a complete ban on additional bulky items. Residents will be encouraged to recycle
additional garbage and dispose of bulky items at recycling plants, etc.
