<strong>Solid</strong> <strong>Waste</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong>draft for discussionFor the <strong>Alberni</strong> Valley, an estimate of the waste composition was done using the results a 2004waste composition study done for the <strong>Regional</strong> <strong>District</strong> of Nanaimo (RDN). The results of this studywere adjusted to reflect the lesser amount of waste diversion activities in the <strong>Alberni</strong> Valley incomparison to the RDN. The estimated waste composition for the waste disposed at the <strong>Alberni</strong>Valley Landfill is shown in Figure 4-2.Miscellaneous16%Paper15%Electronics1%Construction/Demo13%Glass1%Metal4%Plastic12%Household Hazardous1%Compostables37%Figure 4-2Estimated Composition of <strong>Alberni</strong> Valley <strong>Waste</strong> DisposedThe variation in the estimated waste composition between the West Coast and <strong>Alberni</strong> Valley isshown in Figure 4-3. The main variations are:• Significantly higher percentage of construction and demolition waste on the west coast,reflective of the construction boom in that area; and• Higher percentage of compostable waste in the <strong>Alberni</strong> Valley, possibly reflective of the largeramount of yard waste generated, but also reflective of the lower percentage of constructionwaste in the waste stream.(60717-DRF-RPT-07 Oct 04.doc) 4-2
