Coun. Janice Morrison, the city’s representative on the regional district board of directors, said the city needed to notify the regional district that it would be participating in the organics diversion program at the soon-to-be constructed Central Compost Facility, based on the conditions that council had previously submitted.
A curbside composting program is going ahead in Nelson and the city is also throwing its hat into the ring for the regional district’s organics diversion program.
City council decided to begin its own program for composting but, unlike earlier indications at the regional level, was in favour of the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s Organics Waste Diversion Strategy.
