When did the WET/DRY Program start?
On January 1st, 2001, the two-bag WET/DRY system was introduced in our service area. For the first few years, the Commission encouraged residents to participate voluntarily in the WET/DRY program and monitored compliance throughout the region. In addition to monitoring compliance, extensive door-to-door campaigns were held to provide residents with information on the program and encourage them to participate.
By April 2006, all 3 Municipalities and all 14 unincorporated areas in our region were mandatory WET/DRY. We were proud to be the first Commission in the Province to have our entire region mandatory WET/DRY and to this day, that statistic still remains true.
