The Town of South Bruce Peninsula heard a year-end-monitoring report on its Landfills from Acting Director of Public Works Brianna Collins.
The Town only has its Amabel Landfill remaining in operation.
84% of waste depositing at the site is residential.
She speaks to the remaining lifespan of the site.
“The estimate at this point is 6.5 years. I think its a little on the high end of things. It may be a little less due to an increase we’ve seen in the past few years. It’s tough to predict.”
The long-term-waste management plan prepared in 2019 including options such as a new landfill, a partnership with a neighbouring municipality and exportation of the waste.
The current landfill only supports increasing its size by 40,000 cubic meters.
