Commercial Cardboard Rules Change In The New Year

Dec 13, 2018 | 1:10 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – The next phase of Commercial Cardboard diversion is only weeks away from being implemented. Starting January 1, 2019, the tolerated amount of cardboard allowed by a business to be thrown into the landfill decreases and the surcharge increases. The beginning of the new year if a load has more than 5 percent cardboard, the surcharge is 100 percent. The Regional District encourages businesses to develop a recycling cardboard program to help divert cardboard from entering the landfill.
