Highlands East is leaving their landfill sites on winter hours until further notice.
In a media release, the township says staff serve a high volume of residents each day, which can create exposure risk for the staff and those they come in contact with.
Highlands East have seen a steady increase in the amount of site traffic, ,and say residents are attending waste sites in higher volumes than is typical for this time of year. Effective May 6, there will be a limit on the amount of bulk material items that can be disposed of per visit, and the household hazardous waste event scheduled for Saturday May 9, at the Farraday Public Works yard, is cancelled. The next scheduled event is Saturday June 20 at the Tory Hill site. Check out highlandseast.ca for up to date landfill operating hours and rules.
