Spallumcheen stays with Blue Bag System

So why can't other areas "reach an agreement with the Regional District of North Okanagan..?"
And why not for another year?
Or two?
or forever?

The cost of the Township of Spallumcheen's recycling is more than doubling from $17.61 annually, but residents will no doubt be pleased they can continue to recycle the items they've been used to recycling in the past.

And Enderby is fighting to keep rural collection depots which MMBC has unceremoniously removed.  Those depots were necessary repositories for all manner of products that MMBC now refuses to accept.

I'd happily pay $39.05 for a year of blue bag recycling, versus the "free" (ya, right!) MMBC program, which will see the retail cost of products increase to include the program.

It's typical yabba yabba yabba from the corporate mafia of multinational producers who designed and implemented the program after they convinced the B.C. government to let them run it.

We consumers will always pay in the end.

So we opt for the system we've had.
How come nobody said we in Coldstream--or Vernon--could "extend the existing program?"


"Ask Greg Betts how to do that," suggests Kia.


So...if MMBC gave each of 18 Regional Districts in B.C. a million bucks as incentive to jettison the former program--and Spallumcheen isn't participating for one year, but charging their residents more--sounds like the Regional District is raking in pretty good coin.

Something stinks.
And it's not the cheese wrapper.
