RDN News Release - Waste Hauler Licensing and Mandatory Waste Source Separation Bylaws Adopted

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) Board adopted “Waste Hauler Licensing Bylaw No. 1813, 2022” (Waste Hauler bylaw) at the October 22, 2024, board meeting. The bylaw requires all waste haulers transporting another party’s waste for profit where the waste originates in the RDN to have an annual license effective January 1, 2025. The RDN includes Electoral Areas A, B, C, E, F, G and H, the City of Nanaimo, the District of Lantzville, the City of Parksville and the Town of Qualicum Beach. While the bylaw does not come into effect until January, the bylaw was adopted now to provide haulers sufficient time to prepare.
