Tour Options for Registered Delegates of 2024 Conference
Tour #1 | 1:00 – 3:30 PM
Hartland Landfill
Bus meets at the front of the Delta. We use the bus on site so no PPE is required for this event. Hartland landfill is owned and operated by the CRD and is located about 14km northwest of Victoria. It is the only solid waste disposal facility in the Capital Region, serving about 440,000 people. Hartland receives about 180,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste per year. The operation is a multi-purpose facility providing collection for recycling, household hazardous waste, salvageable items as well as yard and garden waste collection and processing, controlled waste disposal and landfill service to commercial and residential customers.
Tour #2 | 2:30 – 4:00 PM
SUPPLY Victoria Tour & Hands-On Workshop
WALKING – please wear comfy shoes. Meet at the front of the Delta. This will be a short walk to the SUPPLY Victoria store front. An art-meets-environmental nonprofit that sells donated school, office, and art supplies through their Creative Reuse Centre tour participants will be treated to a typical (and awesome) hands on activity to learn how the Centre inspires reuse and diverts art supplies from the landfill.
Tour #3 | 3:00 – 4:15 PM
Heidelberg Recycling Site
WALKING – please wear comfy shoes. Meet at the front of the Delta. No PPE is required for this event. Please know the site can be dusty but will be less so when we are visiting.
