Recommendations• Communication I recommend scheduled meetings take place immediately between the Regional District and the City structured around the city’s need to purchase a new garbage collection truck in the coming months. This will act as a meaningful deadline that will drive dialogue, compromise, and decisions. Universal Service Provision I recommend universal service provision: all residents of the Powell River Regional District, urban and rural, should be able to divert their organic waste from the landfill. High Diversion Rate Achieved through: • Mandatory organic waste diversion, either through backyard composting or participation in the curbside program • The provision of kitchen and curbside bins • A reduced organic waste disposal rate • Extensive education campaign These recommendations—communication, universal service provision, and a high diversion rate achieved through mandatory organic waste diversion, the provision of collection bins, a reduced organic waste disposal rate, an education campaign, and monitoring and adaptation of the program, will bring the Powell River Regional District and the City of Powell River together to plan and operate a successful organic waste diversion program, creating a more economically and environmentally sustainable community, and leading the area one step closer to the realization of the Powell River Sustainability Charter.
