The Municipality of Wawa's reducing hours at the local landfill - later in the spring.
In their meeting this week, Wawa Municipal Council approved a resolution to reduce the hours at the Waste Disposal Site to Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday, 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, closed Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday - the resolution also commits the Municipality to "public education and engagement" regarding the change in hours and levels of service as of May 19th.
Infrastructure Services Assistant Director Rebecca Weatherall raised the idea in November, with a report looking at landfill service in about twenty other communities before outlining options that included reduced hours and/or being closed on more days.
Weatherall had also highlighted efforts to reduce waste going to the landfill - that currently includes a pilot program with Food Cycle Science, offering 100 of their "FoodCycler" countertop composter systems at a discounted rate, partly subsidized by the Municipality - those devices are available for sale through that pilot until tomorrow.
