Whereas the province of British Columbia has stringent regulations governing the disposal of municipal solid waste; And whereas the transportation of waste containing recyclables to the United States serves as a loophole in these regulations, undermining their effectiveness: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM advocates to the provincial government that any waste being exported to landfills outside of British Columbia must have the same rules and regulations applied as waste being received at landfills within BC.
