The District of Invermere today shared an update on the compost facility next to the wastewater lagoons and what residents can expect over the coming weeks.

What’s happening right now:

The stockpiled collected organics have been removed from the compost facility and are now being temporarily stored at the Columbia Valley Landfill.

Beginning next week, all curbside organics collection will be delivered and stockpiled at the landfill site.

What’s next:

-Processing at the Compost Facility will resume in mid-April.

-At that time, material will once again be processed onsite, with regular movement of compost planned to help reduce attractants and support safe use of the surrounding area.

We will continue to monitor the compost site and maintain the surrounding environment to ensure safety for residents, pets, and wildlife.

We thank residents and users of Ray Brydon Park for their feedback and patience as we work with the Regional District of East Kootenay on long term improvements.
