On December 3rd, the Regional District of Nanaimo announced that it has been approved for a grant providing as much as $25.9 million over three years to communities to develop or expand their ability to divert organic waste from landfills.<\/p>\n

Convertus is included in one of the 23 projects thus far to receive almost $12.48 million from the province. The Nanaimo Facility will be granted $3 million to contribute to the estimated $13.56 million in upgrades including nearly tripling the capacity. The facility will serve more than 167,000 residents and produce Class A compost for local wholesalers to make available for retail use.<\/p>\n

The processing facility upgrades are already underway and are scheduled to be completed by this coming Spring.<\/p>\n

Convertus is a proud partner with the Regional District of Nanaimo as a proponent of positive momentum in\u00a0British Columbia’s CleanBC Program. Speaking about the program, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, George Heyman said \u201csupporting communities to develop or expand their ability to divert organic waste from landfills is part\u00a0of our commitment to reduce B.C.\u2019s carbon footprint. Our government is pleased to support the Regional\u00a0District of Nanaimo\u2019s continued efforts and investment so that residents will benefit from healthier\u00a0communities and enhanced food security.\u201d<\/p>\n
