New composting facility coming to Revy next spring
Construction of community composting facilities will begin next spring at the Revelstoke and Golden landfill sites as the Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board approved the use of up to $300,000 from the All-Electoral Areas Community Works Fund for those projects.
The fund, which comes from federal government gas tax rebates, has strict guidelines as to project application.
Waste Management Coordinator Ben Van Nostrand told the board that CSRD landfills manage approximately 3,000 tonnes of yard and garden debris annually.
The City of Revelstoke may contribute some funds and the CSRD is in contact with Golden about a possible contribution as well.
