The Comox Strathcona Regional Solid Waste Board has recently implemented an Illegal Dumping Program. A new web page has been created in support of the program which can be found here. The information online includes a list of disposal fees for commonly dumped items, in order to dispel the myth that illegal dumpers do so because of the cost of tipping fees.
