Congratulations West Coast residents! Since launching on the West Coast in November 2022, the new Sort’nGo organics collection service has already diverted more than 130 tonnes (or 290,000 pounds) of organics from the landfill.

West coast residents understand the work it takes for everyone to reduce their impact on the environment. Whether it’s through the quick pick up of roadside organics collection, or the diligence to reusing materials – it’s clear that the Sort’nGo mission of reducing landfill waste is important to many.

It’s that time of year when you feel the itch to explore; more daylight and sun means more time for adventure. Now that the Highway 4 construction by Kennedy Lake has been completed, there’s no reason to delay a trip to Ucluelet.

Congratulations to all of the Sort’nGo homes on the West Coast – you’ve made it through the first season of three-stream roadside collection, and are doing a great job at diverting waste from our landfill by sending kitchen waste to the compost facility.

It’s been four months since the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD) rolled out the Sort’nGo three-stream cart collection service for west coast communities. It’s time to celebrate! Since Dec. 5, we have collected 80 tonnes of organic waste material. That’s the equivalent of more than 20 Orca whales! This means more than 37 per cent of household waste has been diverted from the landfill compared to last year!

Spring will be here any day now! When it comes to residential waste management, it’s a busy time of year as gardeners get out their gloves, and tourist season begins for the west coast communities. So, what does that mean for the west coast? Get tips below for collecting and sorting waste as we spring forward into 2023!
