Highway contractor sends cleanup crew, considers new partnership
Kitimat resident Bill Kearley is pressuring highways maintenance contractor Emil Anderson to do more to clean up garbage tossed out by motorists along Hwy37, including the road into Kitamaat Village.
On May 24, Kearley sent an email to the contractor, the highways ministry and local government officials outlining what he terms a long-standing neglect. He said the contractor cannot hire a subcontractor as such but it can donate to charities who provide volunteers for a clean up. In addition to household garbage and common litter tossed from vehicles, he’s seen bed frames, shopping carts, tires—“everything else under the sun, and lots of it,” he said.
