Report on operations to the end of 2021
2021 was a strangely quiet year. I do not know if it was the
fall out from Covid-19 and things returning to near normal conditions, or if it
is just a return to normalcy in the recycling world after several years of
turmoil.
I have been a municipal rep on the NCSWMC board from its
inception, in fact I was part of the formation committee. From the beginning
every year has had some sort of challenge. Be it a fire, a new scale, repairing
damaged doors or fencing, fixing the bale discharge chute or one of many other
problems. If it was not working with our physical assets, it was dealing with
provincial regulations or one of the many changes in the recycling world.
In 2021, we worked with Multi Material Stewardship Western (MMSW)
to get the seasonal household survey completed. The provincial government has
started discussions towards a fully integrated EPR (Extended Producer
Reasonability) program for our recycled paper and plastics.
We also worked with the District of Lakeland and Elkridge to
separate their membership into two entities.
Thank you to all Board members for their support and for
promoting recycling throughout our region.

When NCSWMC was formed and funding was received to build our
MRF, our engineers designed the building to handle a max flow of 4,000 tons of material.
This year when reviewing the reports from our operations contractor we realized
we were not including the ICI commercial tons in our calculations for total
volume in the MRF. When we recalculated the figures we found the max flow
through our facility was in 2016 at 7,179 metric tonnes.
