Dear Resident:
Subject: Lac Le Jeune Eco-Cards and ID Tags
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) is pleased to introduce area specific Eco-Cards and ID Tags for Lac Le Jeune residents. The Eco-Card allows you to dispose of your household waste while you can still recycle as much as you want for free. Since the introduction of blue bag recycling at the Lac Le Jeune transfer station, the amount of waste has decreased significantly, and the TNRD would like to congratulate you on your efforts.
Each Lac Le Jeune household will be provided with an Eco-Card with 104 punches for 2010 (allows for disposal of 2 bags per week) and is covered under the new Electoral Area “J” service. An ID card will also be provided to identify you as a legitimate user of the site. During Eco-Card/ID tag distribution, residents are asked to bring a piece of addressed mail for registration. The TNRD is aware that not all Lac Le Jeune residents receive mail at their Lac Le Jeune address so please bring information of some type so you can be registered as a rightful site user.
Residents are invited to register and pick up their Eco-Cards and ID Tags this Wednesday December 23rd between 9am-5pm. If you are unable to pick up your Eco-Card and ID Tag during this time please call the TNRD as soon as possible for information. Seasonal residents who are out of the area during scheduled distribution can contact the TNRD for delivery options.
We look forward to working on this program with you and your community and welcome your feedback. For additional information on this program please feel free to contact Adriana Mailloux at the TNRD office at 1-877-377-8673 (toll free) or direct at (250) 377-7199.

Lac Le Jeune Eco-Cards and ID Tags
This letter outlines the process for obtaining a new Eco-Card. From what I understand, the existing Eco-Cards that you purchased are no longer valid. With this window of opportunity to pick up a card falling 2 days before Christmas, my guess is TNRD will be receiving a lot of phone calls about "delivery options"!

Does anyone know about refunds on the old card(s) we paid good money for?
Good question! I wasn't able to attend the LLJ community meeting this summer, but I heard that the answer is "no refunds".
In an effort to save $$, TNRD gives us free punch cards, and pours out who knows how many dollars toward the salaries of people who sat in meetings to figure out how to change a system that was already working. Wish we could hit the rewind button to pre-July 2009! :-)

I think you can still use them at places like the Logan Lake or Chase landfill if you have a big dump run to do.
Using the eco-cards at Logan Lake -- I didn't think about that. Good information. Thanks!
