The Campbell River Waste Management Centre is no longer taking any asbestos.
For now, the only locations where residents and licenced waste haulers can take asbestos-contaminated material are in Nanaimo. Waste management in the Comox Valley is no longer taking it, either.
The arrangement with the Regional District of Nanaimo is temporary. Comox Strathcona Waste Management Service board co-chair Mark Baker thanked Nanaimo for helping out “while a local solution is re-established.”
The Comox Strathcona Waste Management service did not provide a reason for the local service reduction.
Material with asbestos must be properly bagged, and when dropping it off you must follow WorkSafe BC and regional district rules. Drop-offs are only on certain days.
