Sylvester road cleanup!

I'm in the diary for March 3rd....I can take a pick up load of garbage as well and if we can't get funding for dump fee's I'll just pay for what I take.....Also nice to meet up with a few fello CGN's...Will liaise nearer the time and I'll bring some burgers as well....:)
 
Everyone good with March 3rd?

I have to discuss this with my friend that is the contractor. Our main concern will be figuring out how to get for example the District of Mission or some other government institution to foot the bill on dumping fees. Possibly a letter off to my local MLA or MP.

I think this will also be a good time to hold a meet and greet. Pick up some garbage, BBQ some burgers or smokies, possibly pop off a few rounds.

Although the down side to doing it on a weekend will be other shooters. The up side is no logging activity.


Also ran across ths thread to which I will be attending for now on.

You should get those other shooters to help or at least maybe they will see you guy's cleaning up and might clean up after them self for once. If you see them leaving a mess behind then take there plate # and report them.
 
Called this number before. Even reported a guy who shot a swan while I was out waterfowl hunting.

Here are some people and companies that we have contacted in the past for our annual club(quads.ca) cleanup that might help.

Bins-Waste Services Inc.- can be dropped at the start of Lost Creek FSR (end of sylvester)
District of Mission- they will arrange for waiver of dump fees at the transfer station for the bins and/or other vehicles with garbage.
BC Ministry of Forests and Range or Mission Forest District- In the past, they donated garbage bags, gloves and cases of water.
Reliable Towing- They pulled out stolen/burnt vehicles we reported
Mission RCMP- They worked in conjunction with the tow company and would send out special units(hazmat) for possible hazardous materials and/or sealed barrels.

Unfortunately I don't have the actual names of the contact people anymore as I did this a few years ago but should be easy enough for one to find. These are just some suggestions as to who you might want to contact.

If this is on march 3rd, I won't be able to make it but as always will take a few bags out when I do make it up there.

I'll contact The District of Mission regarding dump fee's (unless already done) I'm only 20 mins from their offices and about the same to the dump as well...I'll also check business hours of dump etc...
 
I'm good to go before march 15th. I would suggest saturdays or sundays as being best for most people. You would get the people who work regular shift, people in school, and people who are randomly available. Plus you'd get the weekend offroaders and shooters who come up and don't think about what's happening.

Thank you for the info. It's greatly appreciated.

You got to it before me. Thanx for looking into it. If you need any help in any way let me know.

Sunday March 3rd

If Blue Line desires I can start my own thread? I don't want them to feel like I am hijacking in any way and offend.

Saturdays are best for me. but will be available on march the 10th, sunday.


Hmm, gun show in Chilliwack that weekend, maybe a chance to come out and try your purchases from the day before, after we're done cleaning up.
 
I could make it out there, from Pitt . Problem is I think I may need to park me car somewhere as I don't think it could take the back roads. So if someone could offer a lift from Mission I would be good to go I think.

Definitely a possibility you could catch a ride with me in my Unimog.
 
Was up there today...... Absolutely filthy.... What an eye sore!! Took out three garbage bags of junk. In curious.... How hard is it to pack out what you pack in ??? I know... People are.to drunk to care.... Christ folks figure it out!!!!
 
Was up there again today brought home way more then I went with 2 bags of shells and garbage what happened to pack out with what you pack in
 
I always argue that those who dump garbage at lost creek/ sylvester rd. it's probably more expensive to drive that far away rather than the meager dump fee in comparison to gas/ time spent littering. 2 years ago I participated In a huntingBC clean up with the BC4x4 association, collectively removed 60 tonnes of garbage and recyclables.
