To support the development of the Solid Waste Management Plan, Metro Vancouver convened individuals with relevant personal qualities and experience to serve on the Solid Waste Management Plan Public/Technical Advisory Committee. Members provided advice and input on the development of the solid waste management plan.
Metro Vancouver would like to thank all members of the committee for dedicating their time, experience, and expertise to contribute to the development of the updated Solid Waste Management Plan. Contributions from the Public/Technical Advisory Committee over four years have been instrumental in shaping a plan that will help guide our region for the next decade and beyond and challenge us to rethink and prevent waste first, maximize recycling, and manage the remaining waste responsibly.
The last meeting of the Solid Waste Management Plan Public/Technical Advisory Committee took place on April 2, 2026.
Representatives of the 10 local Indigenous Nations were invited to observe committee meetings. Engagement with Indigenous Nations took place through a separate process.
Recommendations for committee membership were reviewed by the Solid Waste Management Plan Independent Consultation and Engagement Panel prior to consideration by the Zero Waste Committee and GVS&DD Board in a closed meeting.
