Call for Expressions of Interest: Glass Crushing

The Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS) would like to collect glass as part of community recycling efforts, beginning with Terrace and the Hazeltons. We estimate glass to represent 1.5% of all materials landfilled - approx. 583 tonnes/year for the entire region. Glass needs to be crushed and screened to a 2" minus size and will be used by the RDKS Public Works department. As an option, glass could be delivered to the Hazelton or Thornhill landfill.

Please submit your expression of interest by March 9, 2012 and include the following information:

• Name and contact information (mailing address, phone, e-mail)

• A short paragraph describing your qualifications

• Proposed method/equipment for glass crushing

• Estimated costs and date that services would be available

This is an exploratory request only and all ideas will be considered. Information should be sent to Laurie Gallant, Zero Waste Program Manager to one of the following coordinates:
