ITEM III:

COMPOSTlNG PROPOSED 1992 PROGRAM
—

Committee considered a report from the Project Engineer to the Deputy Engineer dated
December 3, 1991 regarding the 1992 composting program. The rcport recommended that home
composting be initiated at a cost of $ 76,000; curb side pick up for leaves over an eight week
period be initiated at a cost of $ 110,000 and that the City locate and develop a composting site at
an additional $ 40,000.
Committee felt that more information was needed to support the idea that home composting
could have any real affect on the garbage volumes and weights. However it was felt that further
discussion and consideration of this item should await the budget deliberations since the atnount
of money available will determine the type of program and effort that can be developed.

This item will be brought back to the agenda on completion of the budget discussions.

ITEM IV:

BIOCOMPOST SYSTEMS INCORPORATED
HOME COMPOSTING PROPOSAL

Committee considered a report from the Deputy City Engineer dated December 3, 1991 with
comments and background on the Biocompost System Incorporated's proposal to provide
backyard composters for the Ci!y of Port Coquitlatn. The proposal is for the Kinsmen Club of
Port Coquitlam to act as the coordinators and administrators of a program to implement
backyard composting in 8,000 homes in the City over the next two years. An overall cost of
somewhere around $ 660,000 it is expected that the Federal Government's 'Environmental
Partners'und tvould provide $ 200,000, (he Provincial Ministry of Environment would provide
$ 250,000 and the remainder would come from City residents by purchasing the composters at
$ 30.00 (each). Alternatively, the City resident's portion could be paid directly by Counci'l.

Conunittee received the report for information.

ITEM Vt

ART KNAPP'S

P~AND - REOUEST ItOR GRANT

Committee considered a report from the Project Engineer to the Deputy Engineer dated
December 3, 1991 regarding Art Knapp's request for a contribution of $ 400 towards a Christmas
tree chipping program.

Conunittee felt that due to Council's "no grants" policy that this request be denied but that the
applicant be encouraged to continue and that perhaps service announcements through the
newspaper could offer some assistance in this regard.

1. 0 RECOMMENDATIONS

That for 1992 the City:

Initiate a home composting program at an initial

1)

cost of $ 76,000.

Initiate a curbside pick-up of leaves over an
week period in the fall at a cost of $ 110,000.
3) Locate and develop a composting site at a cost of
640,000.
2)

eight

2. 0 OTHER MUNICIPAL COMPOSTXNG PROGRAMS

Several municipalities in the lower mainland already

have curbside composting programs in place.
examples are:

Some

Vancouver

Leaf composting in Vancouver was initiated in 1990
using yellow plastic bags for curbside pick-up.
Vancouver found the costs of emptying the bags
prohibitive so this year they are asking residents
to purchase ECO bags at local stores. ECO bags are

Coauitlam
As with Vancouver, the District of Coquitlam is
using ECO bags in their curbside pick-up program.
Coquitlam has a contract with Laidlaw for garbage
pick-up and as part of this contract Laidlaw is
required to pick-up twice a year (Spring and Fall),
compostable materials from curbside. The compostable
material is taken to an old GVRD landfill in
Ccquitlam.
Coquitlam is buying the first bags for residents at:
40 cents a piece. Residents are asked to buy future
bags at local stores.
OPTIONS FOR PORT COQUITLAM COMPOSTING PROGRAMS

There are two composting programs which should be

considered for the 1991 fiscal year:
1.

Backvard Comoostina

This type of program is being started in many other
municipalities (Vancouver, North Vancouver,
Kamloops, Seattle) . The city puzchases a quantity
of composters and distributes them to residents.

cost of the compost er for the residents is
reduced because of the 1/3 provincial grant and the
large volume purchase made by the city. Residents

The

usually pay from 820 to 830 for the units.
The costs for this type of program for Port
Coquitlam are as follows:

SUB JECT:

BIOCOMPOST SYSTEMS INC. - BACKYARD COMPOSTER PROGRAM

RECO~ATIONt
For information.

CO~S BACKGROUND.
8'c

Bob Herr, President of Biocompost Systems Inc. has been dealing with the Environmental
Protection Committee over the past six months regarding a backyard composting program for
the City of Port Coquitlam. His idea is to tap into some of the funding sources available for the
"Environmental Partners" program. In broad terms he would like to get one third funding from
the Kinsmen Club of Port Coquitlam, one third funding from the Ministry of Environment, and
one third from Port Coquitlam house holders. As an alternative to the Port Coquitlam house
holders, Council may wish to contribute a portion or all of this amount.

Biocotnpost applied for a total program of approximately $ 660,000 to take place over two years
and supply approximately 8,000 home composters within the City. The initial cost breakdown is
laid out in Btocompost Systems lnc. letter to me of November 29, 1991.
At this point no approvals have been granted and you will see that Mr. Herr has explicitly
pointed out that he realizes ther'e is no commitment from the City at this point for any financial
contribution towards the program. This item does however tie in with the City's recommended
start of a composting program in 1992.

Firstly, the reason we, are praviding this public service is due largely ta
environmental concerns. As a responsible corporate citiznn, Art Knapp's would
rather have Chr istmas ress chipped and used later for usefu1 mulch etc. as

which we are willing go assume. However, I teel that this event will be a
:benefit to the City in ".erms of reduc ing your responsibility for dispasal and
therefore request 'fram the City subsidizat ion in the amount of 8400.
This money will be usetl towards the following costs:

However, the Envirorunental Protection Comndttee members did feel that the City should be

be able to encourage the local newspapers to sponsor special space in their public service
announcement sections that would include information such as Christmas tree chipping

Approximately one year ago, E.P.S. Recycling htc. of Aldergrove, B.C. offered a chipper free to

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENT WEEK
JUiiE 1-7, 1992

Background on Canadian Environment Week
Canadian Env'ronment Week, enacted by federal legislation, is celebrated dung the first week
of June each year in order to include World Environment Day (June 5). In 1992, Canadian
Environment Week wfil be held from June 1 to 7.
Opinion polls indicate that the Canadian public is very supportive of environmental initiatives.
However, many people report that they have not fully incorporated environmentally sound
practices into their daily lives. Thus, there is still a gap between attitudes and behaviour. We
must continue to address this gap.

It is time to assist people further in changing their behaviour, rather than simply to raise their
environmental awareness.

Objectives of Canadian Environment Week 1992
The 125th aiuuversary of the Canadian confederation is a time for Canadians from coast to
coast to do their part to restore the quality of our environment. The following objectives have
been established for Canadian Environment Week 1992:
~
to encourage individuals to adopt, on a permm ent basis, activities and practices that
wifi result in an improved environment;
~
to facilitate the process by which individuals can adopt more environmentally friendly
behaviour and become partners in Canada's Green Plan; and
~
to further educate Canadians about practical ways in which they, as individuals, can
contribute to the protection and conservation of the environment.

Message for Environment Week 7992

le
liRIIRIIII

During Environment Week 1992, we will emphasize both our individual and collective
responsibility to the environment. We all benefit in some way from our environment, and in
turn, we must contribute to its conservation and protection.

~I7t'IHI

IIM

The theme for Environment Week 1992 is "It's Up to All of Us!"

a funding contribution from Environment Canada, please fill in the Unfunded Proj ect Eorm.
Send it to the appropriate regional address listed at the end of this guide. We will assist you in
the promotion of your project by: 1) including it on our list of activities that will be sc t to the
media; 2) including it in our communications to the media; snd 3) providing you with free
promotional materials.

Criteria for Projects Eligible for Funding
1.

Projects must: (o) involve individual Canadians in specific, concrete and practical activities that
will lead to the long-term impmvement of the environment; or (b) facilitate action that results

JUNE 1-7, 1992

2.

Projects with widespread and long-tenn public involvement will be given a higher
priority for funding.

3.

Projects that enable individuals to more readily adopt environmentally friendly
behaviour will be given a higiier priority for funding.
For example, individuals are more likely to recycle if there is a single comprehensive
residential collection program in place, than if they have to take their recyclables to
various depots or companies. And a school is more likely to participate in a composting
project if the project involves all of the schools in its school district and is organized by
the school board.

There must be a significant public element of the project that takes place during
Canadian Environment Week. This element must encompass an activity or event (for
example, an event that launches a long-term concrete environmental initiative) and not
simply, for instance, involve the issuance of a press release announcing an activity. The
key is to ensure a strong focus of activity and public involvement during Environment
Week. Applicants should state which specific measures will be taken to ensure broad
public involvement during Environment Week.

Projects that only foster action for a specific time period and do not have a continuing
component will receive a lower priority for funding. One-time clean-up projects are not
eligible unless they are part of a wider program aimed at changing attitudes towards the
problem that causes the need for clean-up. They often are the responsibiTity of the
municipal authorities and should be organized by them. However, promotional support
will bs avafiable for such pmjects.

to show how their project will have a long-term impact on Canadians and include details
on the distribution schedule snd expected audience for the material produced in this
type of project.
Approved funded projects must be acfively promoted to the media and the public by
theb sponsor. In addition, all public communications must state that the project is p

Examples of Eligible Projects
Implement a long-term community-wide water conservation project in cooperation with
other sectors of the community. For example, a municipality could offer incentives to
householaers and businesses who significantly reduce their water consumption. Local
businesses could also get involved by selling, at a reduced cost, items to help conserve
water.

Establish communal composting s!Les for residents who can', or don't want to, maint
their own compost bins.

Other ideas include: energy conservation projects, in-home waste reduction projects,
alternative energy projects (car pools, bicycling, etc.).

A pproIral Process

In each province and territory, all of the applications for funding will be reviewed by a
provincial selection committee. These committees, composed of members from various sectors
