Get ready to participate!

Over the coming months, we will be reaching out to the community to prepare for launching a new Curbside Collection Service. We are eager for participation from residents and property owners.

We will be asking a whole series questions that will shape how we approach rolling out the new service. For instance, we want feedback on what size and type of container to use for collecting recyclables. We also need input on how to best make the new schedule easy to follow.

Other questions will aim to get the community working together to develop made-in-Creston solutions for accessibility, convenience, and waste reduction. We hope to get people sharing ideas and inspiration for managing household waste. Together, we can build on experience from elsewhere in BC and figure out implementation challenges like how to store kitchen scraps in the home, what to do with the recyclables and other waste that the Town won't be collecting, and how to reduce the overall amount of waste that we produce in our homes.

Let's harness our collective knowledge, creativity, and resourcefulness! You can begin preparing to participate today...

• Start thinking about how you currently manage your garbage, recycling, kitchen scraps, and yard waste.
• Read this page to refresh your understanding of the changes that are planned.
• Use the Questions function on this page to ask us any questions that you may have.
• Talk with family, friends, and neighbours about how making the new model work for your households and the environment.
