Food and Yard Waste Program Growing Deeper Roots

Posted on

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service is growing its food and yard waste program. Beginning in the New Year, CSWM will receive organic materials from an expanded partnership with the City of Campbell River, City of Courtenay, Town of Comox and Village of Cumberland.

The CSWM would also like send it thanks to the residents of Cumberland who have been diverting food and yard waste from their garbage through the weekly organics pilot program since 2012.

Starting on January 9, 2023, CSWM’s contractor will be delivering new kitchen bins directly to households within each partner municipality by February 17, 2023.

If you have not received a kitchen bin by February 17, 2023, please contact the CSWM at 250-334-6016 or email .

Knowing what is accepted in the food/yard waste bin will help avoid contamination and keep our system operating smoothly. Beginning in 2023, Food/yard waste bins with unacceptable materials will be left at the curb. Please note that no plastic bags or containers – even those labelled as compostable or biodegradable – can be used in the organics waste bins.
