Vancouver’s Food Scraps Ban:

Is Your Condo Building Ready? Vancouver’s war on waste is ramping up. On January 1, 2015, the City said “no” to food scraps in the garbage by banning all organic material in the regular trash. Now, items such as veggie peelings, bones, fat and even pizza boxes must be placed in special bins for commercial composting. From hard-core environmentalists to eco-savvy millennials, the general consensus is that this is a long overdue move in the right direction toward green. But for many condo dwellers, the logistics can appear daunting – even with a six-month grace period before violators will be slapped with a fine. The Big Picture The City of Vancouver has already been implementing its food scraps system in about 1,800 condo buildings. Those buildings should already have new food scrap bins and be participating fully in separating food from garbage. However, like everywhere else, there is a six-month grace period

before spot checks and fines come into play on July 1. Strata councils in the remaining 3,900 or so condo buildings not serviced by the City’s program are obliged to renegotiate their contracts with their current recycling providers to include a food scraps program. This must be done by July 1 when the grace period ends. Stratas will be slapped with a fine if during a spot check their landfill garbage is deemed to comprise more than 25 per cent food scraps. The Practical Issues The next issue is where to put the bins? Most residential towers were designed with dedicated garbage/recycling rooms, but smaller condos are often tight on storage space. Some buildings could fence off one or more existing parking spots for additional bins. But in many neighbourhoods, low-rise apartment blocks are already forced to store recycling bins in back alley alcoves.

Vancouver Will See Slowing Price Growth in 2015: Survey

For these condo dwellers, Nichole Stefenelli, founder of Urban Impact Recycling, says smaller containers with more frequent pick-ups may be the only route to go. Her company will sometimes even negotiate a floor-by-floor service to eliminate the need for daily trips to the recycle room. “It’s definitely important to make it easy for people,” says Jonathan Meads, Concert’s development and sustainability manager. He explains how Concert’s “recycling lounges” are constantly washed and have walls painted to correspond with the colour of each type of recycling bins – blue for paper, red for soft plastics and brown for organics. The company has also committed to providing every purchaser in upcoming condominium projects with a sleeklooking, compact organic waste bucket for their kitchen. Defeating the Yuck Factor Arguably, though, one of the greatest challenges in gaining consumer acceptance will be taming the “yuck

factor” – the perception of bad odors and increased interest from fruit flies and vermin. “Clean, well-sealed containers that can be washed easily and frequently are key — both in the kitchen and in the outdoor bins,” Stefenelli stresses, adding that Urban Impact washes every bin on location, every time it’s emptied. In her own home, she uses an “attractive,” well-sealed container to store her organics before taking them to the recycle bin once a day. One creative solution is to keep an old five-litre ice cream pail in your freezer and fill it with scraps – no unsightly mess and no smell. However, buildings serviced by the City should be warned that collectors will not be cleaning out the communal bins on emptying them, which could prove an unpleasant and challenging weekly chore for strata members. Complete information about the City of Vancouver’s organic recycling program is found at www.vancouver.ca/ organicsban.

BURNABY • NEW WESTMINSTER

FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 2015

Looking for a new home? Start here.

E S T A T E

W E E K L Y

The Black + Whites on Foster Embraces Extraordinary Townhome living at its Best Burquitlam is emerging as a soughtafter up-and-coming neighbourhood. Its proximity to Highway 1, the Evergreen Line, which is set to open in 2016, and the to shopping, recreation and schools is attracting families, downsizers and everyone in between. This is where the award-winning Intracorp Projects Ltd. is unveiling its exciting new townhome development The Black + Whites on Foster. “We are releasing our first phase on January 24th which consists of 32 homes,” says Barrett Sprowson, Director of sales Intracorp Realty. “Thirteen of the homes will be move-in ready by the end of February and the remaining homes by the end of this summer.” Located on a quiet, tree-lined street away from busy traffic, and near an abundance of parks, trails, golf courses, and recreational facilities, The Black + Whites

on Foster is a collection of 107 three and four-bedroom townhomes offering a unique blend of urban appeal and Old World charm. “Starting from the low $500,000 and generously sized, these homes are single family home inspired at a price anyone can afford,” adds Sprowson. Designed by Ramsay Worden Architects, the three-storey, open concept contemporary homes range from 1,231 to 1,684 square feet. Each residence features nine-foot ceilings, high quality laminate flooring and sprawling windows to bring the outdoors in. The gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, kitchen islands, granite countertops and a combination painted lacquer and real wood shaker style cabinetry will motivate you to cook and entertain. The charming exteriors were inspired by the timeless elegance of the 1930’s

New York black and white architecture - with gorgeous detailed brick or hardiboard cladding, custom-detailed wrought iron front gate and private entry with manicured landscaped front yard. In addition, they are showcased by custom personalized planter boxes, spacious decks and large over height deep-set mullioned windows. “The doors are coloured either green, red or black to give individuality to each home,” he adds. “The community features 69,000 square feet of grass, shrubs and greenway which is the size of an NFL football field.” Black + Whites also offer easy access to an emerging urban centre that will include shopping, restaurants, services, and other amenities. In the works is a 50,000 sq. ft. grocery store located at Burquitlam Mall and a 60,000 sq. ft. YMCA Community Centre slated to open

in 2017. None other than Intracorp - the awardwinning development company with more than 30 years of experience - could undertake a project that seamlessly blends into the beauty and charm of this exciting and emerging neighbourhood; all the while giving the interiors everything you would expect. A great quality of life combined with housing prices about one-third the price of comparable properties on Vancouver’s west side, are other reasons Burquitlam is becoming so sought-after. The Black + Whites on Foster Grand Opening happens Saturday, Jan. 24th from noon to 5 p.m. at the new Sales Centre, which includes a display home, located at 548 Foster Ave., Coquitlam. For more information or to register online, visit www.blackandwhites.ca or 604.998.8998.
