Illegal Dumping Cleanup

Mosaic private forest lands on Vancouver Island are popular for recreationalists. While the majority of visitors appreciate the access opportunities, the increase in illegal dumping in some areas is a significant–and costly–problem. Every year Mosaic recovers significant amounts of illegally dumped material, everything from cars to couches, at a cost of more than $100,000 to clean up.

Mosaic is very lucky to field regular requests from hardworking volunteers interested in helping address the problem of illegal dumping on Mosaic private forest lands. 

To request a Mosaic Illegal Dumping Cleanup event as part of Mosaic’s pilot program:

• Complete an Access Agreement request form online. Be sure to indicate your preferred location and date. (If you are not a member of a formal club or society, enter 00000 as your Business or Society Number.)  

• For approved events, Mosaic will work with local authorities to waive tipping fees at the nearest landfill wherever possible.

• Mosaic will provide approved groups with a Mosaic Cleanup Kit including gloves and garbage bags.
