Welcome to Our On-Line Community
Our new website provides an information portal to the local government services that are provided to the 20,000 residents that live within 19,716 km of land that stretches from the mouth of the Skeena River on the North Coast mainland across the Hecate Strait to the rainforests of Haida Gwaii.
In many ways the regional district is a bridge between Island communities, many of them rural and remote, all requiring core services from clean drinking water to solid waste disposal.
We are confident this on-line extension of our office will provide local residents with access to a range of material from monthly Board meeting agendas, minutes and bylaws to helpful direction on rural planning and zoning.

Watching Our Waste-Line
Residents and businesses of the SQCRD have recycled nearly seven thousand metric tonnes of material over the past three years, saving precious space in our landfills and conserving natural resources. Part of this success has been the expansion of products we accept though agreements with various Stewardship agencies. As a result, we now accept electronics (telephones, stereo equipment, cameras, video recorders, DVD & VCR players, iPods), fluorescent lights, dry cell batteries and cell phones, floor care appliances, lead acid batteries at the Regional Recycling Depot in Prince Rupert. For a list of what is accepted at depots and drop-off bins on Haida Gwaii, see Recycling.

PRESS RELEASE
PRINCE RUPERT — The Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional Recycling is pleased to announce that the depot began processing cardboard from Waste Management (Terrace) in late November 2010. This arrangement will provide an additional 20 to 25 metric tonnes of material on a monthly basis, thereby increasing our volumes and revenues.
These arrangements with companies outside of our community help to provide and maintain employment within our community and will lead to the long term viability of the recycling program.
