When we talk about the ‘true cost’ of increasing climate disasters, I don’t think people realize just how steep the costs will be. Including something as simple as govts balking at the cost of disposing of hazardous waste, which could lead to even greater negative health effects (and costs!) #BCpoli
@thetyee.caThousands around B.C. will find themselves with freezers full of contents in need of disposal by the time summer ends.
As many return home, they’re told to clean the freezers themselves, since the province stopped funding the curbside pickup of nightmare appliances. 🥩 @tyolsen.bsky.social reports.

BC stopped paying to dispose of freezers after long-term evacuations. That brings health concerns.
