Mayne Island Improvement District

GARBAGE COLLECTION

Recently, there has been discussion within the community about the Mayne Island Improvement District (MIID) and its mandate to oversee garbage collection on Mayne Island. The MIID would like to clarify its position on garbage collection. 

  • the MIID does not collect taxes for garbage collection 

  • the MIID has never taxed for garbage collection

  • according to the original mandate of the MIID, under the Letters Patent of 1964, and 1983, the MIID could levy taxes for garbage collection

  • if it is determined that the will of the community is for the MIID to oversee garbage collection, then a new tax levy would be implemented for all properties on Mayne Island

  • no referendum would be necessary to begin garbage taxation since the Province has already empowered the MIID (through the Letters Patent) to tax for garbage collection

  • garbage collection and removal is currently overseen by independent operator(s). Services are operated on a fee-per-bag basis with the fee being collected by the operators
