Comox Strathcona Waste Management service open houses upcoming

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management service is asking residents for feedback as it plans for the next decade.

The service is hosting a series of open houses starting Saturday to gather input on how to improve management of garbage, recycling, food and other waste.

The sessions follow a year-long process to develop new strategies as part of an update to the Solid Waste Management Plan.

Public feedback will be shared with the Regional Solid Waste Advisory Committee and the Comox Strathcona Waste Management board before a draft plan is finalized and submitted to the province in 2026.

The first open houses take place Saturday, September 6, at the Black Creek Fall Fair from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Sunday, September 7, at Quadra Island Harvest Happenings from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

A full schedule of open houses is available on the Comox Strathcona Waste Management website. Feedback is due by October 16.
