ITEM H:

RECVCLING COUNCIL OF BC

Dorothy Caddell of the Recycling Council of BC gave a broad scope definition of the Council,
its membership lists, and its purpose. In sununary, the Council was started in 1974 and currently
has about 375 members. The membership is made up approximately equal by four main groups,
i.e. Government; private companies; recycling organizations, and big business. Funding comes
primarily from private donations and contract work for the Provincid. Government. For example
the Recycling Council for BC undertakes to operate the recycling hotline on a contract basis to
the BC Ministry of Environment. Several publications are produced each year and they are
currently looking at expanding into the hazardous waste area. Dorothy Caddell left a binder with
information including detaQed definitions of the programs and purpose of the Council.
Dorothy Caddell also suggested that their organization should be kept up to date on Port
Coquitlam's plans for composting and recycling as it would be put into the computer and passed
out to people when they phone, should they require specific information of Port Coquitlam. This
information will be directed to Andrew de Boer for follow up.

CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM
COMPOSTING CONSIDERATIONS

Regardless of the type of composting program chosen, financial
resources are available from the Environment Canada and/or
through the Provincial Ministry of the Environment.
PROMOTION OF BACK YARD COMPOSTING

chosen by the City is excellent but the citizens need
to be stimulated. We can develop and administer, in coniunction
with the retail operators at the demonstration sites, a coupon
program which will involve funding of 33 1/355 by the Ministry of
the Environment and the, balance by the home owner. Under a
program like this the City would predetermine the number of
composters to be distributed during the fiscal period, apply for
and obtain the funding and we would administer the program and
each month, submit the coupons redeemed for reimburseasent by the
The method

City.

COMPOST COLLECTION AND PROMOTION OF BACK YARD COMPOSTING

Because householders have different ideas on how they want t&
handle their compostables, a combination of two plans could
operate. Under a progx am like this the municipality would apply
for and obtain funding for 33 1/355 of the costs of all equipment
including the truck/packer. The householders would be offered
either a back yard composter or a roll out cart. They would each
be required to pay an amount, the total of which would cover the
cost of the system after deducting the amount contributed by the

Provincial Government.

If collection could be bi-weekly during the high growing season
less often during the wiriter,, this would eliminate
the need for an additional truck to be 'on the streets so
frequently. The compostahle material could then be dumped at the
G.V.R.D. collection site to be opened in Coquitlam later this
and perhaps

year.
