CurbSide tune-up
Good morning Britannia Beach,
Fall is in the air! We hope everyone had a wonderful summer.
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District in partnership with Squamish Climate Action Network (Squamish-CAN) is conducting curbside recycling checks to help residents improve their recycling. The Tune-Up Team will visit the neighborhoods of Britannia Beach and Furry Creek for brief checks of recycling bins on September 22 and October 20, 2021.
Recycling can be confusing, Curbside Tune-Ups are an opportunity for everyone in the community to receive individualized feedback on what they may not be doing right and how they can change certain habits to improve the quality of BC’s recycling. Improved quality means a higher percentage of the paper and packaging you put in your bin gets recycled.
What you should know:
- The Tune-Up Team are waste educators contracted to assist the SLRD with outreach into communities to support efforts in decreasing curbside recycling contamination.
- The Tune-Up Team will be wearing identification.
- The Tune-Up Team will be handling items in the curbside recycling bins.
- Residents will receive feedback in the form of a recycling champion sticker and/or a notice on their bin with tips on what goes where.
What you can do:
· Clean and rinse your containers prior to recycling.
· Get tips on proper recycling at www.slrd.bc.ca/lovethisplace/aread

Glass depot pilot project 2021-07-05 - 2021-07
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is excited to announce that it will be launching a glass bottles & jars depot pilot project for the Britannia Beach community!
The pilot will be conducted from June 30 to September 28, 2021 and if successful the service will be implemented permanently.
This is a great opportunity for the community to divert glass waste currently sent to landfill.
Glass accounts for 8.2% of the waste currently sent to landfill by the community, compared to 3.5% in Squamish. Recycle BC has also reported a high percentage of glass is currently being put in the curbside recycling bins. Glass is not accepted in the curbside program as it infiltrates the fibers of other materials in the bin after shattering, making it impossible to separate. Shattered glass also has costly wear and tear effects on the mechanical components at the recycling facilities. Keeping glass out of the blue bin is the best way to ensure your recycling efforts were not in vain!
It is our hope that this program will simplify glass recycling for the community.
Here are a few guidelines to ensure the pilot project is successful:
The Glass Depot is in the same location as the yard waste bins.
As always, we welcome all feedback! Please email any questions, comments or concerns to mleblanc@slrd.bc.ca.
A special thank you to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for their support in allowing the SLRD to use their site.
