Bylaw280 PackageFrom: Paul Henderson <Paul.Henderson@metrovancouver.org>Subject: Bylaw 280Date: September 6, 2014 at 10:52:12 AM PDTTo: 'Jim Routledge' <jim@routledgehomes.com>
Jim: Good to meet you yesterday. As discussed, I have attached a package we have been providing to various people on Bylaw 280. We are confident that waste flow management/flow control is the single most important solid waste issue in the province, and is particularly important on the Island as we understand large amounts of waste are already being shipped of the Island by garbage disposal companies. If the waste export issue is not resolved, there will be significant negative impacts to island communities both financial, and environmental.The package includes:- A presentation on Bylaw 280- A brochure on Bylaw 280- Excerpt from the Metro Vancouver solid waste plan specifically referencing the implementation of flow control measures- A bylaw 280 support letter from the Recycle First Coalition: A group of 12 local recycling firms with 825 employees who process 1,000,000 tonnes of recyclables a year along with a couple of other letters from other recycling entities- A bylaw 280 support letter from Paul Richard, Kwantlen’s Environmental Protection Technology Chair- Email from Peter Ladner, a former Vancouver City Councillor and sustainability expert- Bylaw 280 support letters from eight other regional districts across southern B.C. (All eight Boards passed resolutions either supporting Bylaw 280 directly or supporting the concept of flow control/waste flow management)Let me know if you need any more information on the issue.Paul.Paul Henderson, P.EngGeneral Manager of Solid Waste ServicesMetro Vancouver4330 Kingsway, Burnaby B.C.V5H 4G8
