In an attempt to reduce the amount of trash in landfills, cardboard will no longer be accepted as garbage by this time next year.
The Regional District of Bulkley-Nechako recently made this decision, which will come into effect July 1st, 2016.
While cardboard won’t be accepted at landfill or transfer stations, the RDBN will create cardboard recycling drop-offs for residents.
The same can’t be said for most businesses, which will have to manage their own cardboard disposal.
