ILLeGAL dumPING can cause pollution affect wildlife habitat and interfere with outdoor recreation and enjoyment dumping waste such as garbage hazardous waste and even green waste is illegal Many items that are illegally dumped actually fit into FREE lsquoExtended Producer Responsibilityrsquo (EPR) recycling programs Items such as bulky white appliances (stoves washing machines etc) small and large electronics paint hazardous materials propane tanks and many metal items all can be disposed of for FREE in Powell River Please view the Waste WIse Recycling Directory on pages 9-10 for a comprehensive list of accepted materials
Invasive species cause environmental economic and social impacts in our region these non native species can alter habitats and disrupt essential ecosystem functions by displacing native vegetation and competing for water nutrients and space Invasive plants such as knotweed can increase maintenance costs to public parks and private property and devalue real estate Invasive plant species contribute to the loss of traditional food and medicinal plants damage infrastructure and can reduce land and water recreational opportunities
the qathet Regional district has an Invasive Plant Management Strategy and is developing an Invasive species disposal Plan for the region
Resident participation in fighting the spread of invasive species is a critical part of the plan the Regional district holds yearly invasive species drop off events Please visit qathetca for info on the next event
to learn more about how to best manage individual species visit Invasives Species Council of BC Coastal Invasive Species Committee or PlantWise
to report an invasive species infestation use a BC Government reporting app the BC Report a Weed app or call the Coastal Invasive species Committee weed hotline at 1-844-871-5117
If you spot illegally dumped trash please make a report through RAPP Call 1-877-952-7277 or 7277 on the TeLuS mobility Network or visit

Invasive species cause environmental economic and social impacts in our region these non native species can alter habitats and disrupt essential ecosystem functions by displacing native vegetation and competing for water nutrients and space Invasive plants such as knotweed can increase maintenance costs to public parks and private property and devalue real estate Invasive plant species contribute to the loss of traditional food and medicinal plants damage infrastructure and can reduce land and water recreational opportunities
the qathet Regional district has an Invasive Plant Management Strategy and is developing an Invasive species disposal Plan for the region
Resident participation in fighting the spread of invasive species is a critical part of the plan the Regional district holds yearly invasive species drop off events Please visit qathetca for info on the next event
to learn more about how to best manage individual species visit Invasives Species Council of BC Coastal Invasive Species Committee or PlantWise

Invasive species cause environmental economic and social impacts in our region these non native species can alter habitats and disrupt essential ecosystem functions by displacing native vegetation and competing for water nutrients and space Invasive plants such as knotweed can increase maintenance costs to public parks and private property and devalue real estate Invasive plant species contribute to the loss of traditional food and medicinal plants damage infrastructure and can reduce land and water recreational opportunities
the qathet Regional district has an Invasive Plant Management Strategy and is developing an Invasive species disposal Plan for the region
Resident participation in fighting the spread of invasive species is a critical part of the plan the Regional district holds yearly invasive species drop off events Please visit qathetca for info on the next event
to learn more about how to best manage individual species visit Invasives Species Council of BC Coastal Invasive Species Committee or PlantWise
