In an e-mail report to his constituents, Cariboo Regional District Area L Director Bruce Rattray explained the changes that are underway at the Area L solid waste sites.
He noted construction work started at the Lone Butte site on July 15, and the attendants will work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. shifts to overlap with typical construction hours.
The scheduled hours (locked gate) won’t start until after the construction is completed, which will be sometime in August, he explained.
Attendants at the Watch Lake and Interlakes landfill sites also started July 15 and will work varying seven-hour shifts to try to overlap with all hours of the day and the associated users, he said, adding the scheduled hours (locked gate) won’t start until Aug. 15.
Lone Butte and Watch Lake residents will receive an hours-of-service information sheet, rear-view mirror tag and information sheet, and a survey/feedback form by mail.
He noted there will also be a bulk mail-out of the hours of service information sheet to other Area L residents.
Provision of recycling facilities at these sites is also planned but won’t take place until 2014, he added.
To view the proposed schedule and to complete the survey form, residents can go to the CRD website at www.cariboord.bc.ca.
Meetings slated
Public meetings are scheduled for July 24 (7 p.m.) at the Lone Butte Community Hall, and July 25 (7 p.m.) at the Interlakes Hall.
Staff will be on hand to answer questions about the changes and get feedback on the proposed schedule.
