NORTH SHORE residents are
becoming more accustomed to
visiting B.C.’s first major refuse
baling station as opposed to the
Premier Street landfill site.

The tandfill site closed to the
public earlier this summer, when
the Riverside Drive baling station
opened.

The baling station, a $4 million
plant, was built on the North
Shore for the Greater Vancouver
Regional District.

The plant handles about 400
tonnes a day of refuse generated in
North Vancouver City, North
Vancover District and West Van-

refuse is ‘environmentally superi-
or’ to dumping loose garbage.
It also takes up fess space and
reduces the number of vehicles
travelling to and from the landfill
Site.

Authorities report that instead
of 400 to 500 vehicles travelling
daily to the landfill site daily, only
15 trucks from the baling station
visit the site.

The Premier Street landfill site

under construction in Burnaby, is
put into operation.
