Let's Talk Trash - Review the Draft Solid Waste Management Plan

The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) wants to hear from residents and businesses on the future of waste management on the Sunshine Coast.

The Solid Waste Management Plan guides how recycling, green waste, food waste and garbage will be managed across the region over the next ten years and beyond. The plan is required by the Province of British Columbia.

Since 2023, the SCRD has been developing the draft plan with input from the community, a public advisory committee and the SCRD Board.

The SCRD is now asking residents to review the draft and share feedback on the proposed approaches for managing waste on the Sunshine Coast.

Community input is particularly important as the region plans for the future. The Sunshine Coast’s only landfill is nearing capacity, and the SCRD is working to identify solutions that will ensure reliable waste services and disposal options for the next 30 to 35 years.

Residents and businesses can participate in several ways, including attending in-person engagement sessions or completing an online questionnaire.

Feedback will be accepted until April 10, 2026, and will help shape the final Solid Waste Management Plan.
