The department will be conducting maintenance work to the site which will take several days to complete. This work is required given the high volume of traffic which has been experienced at the site.
The public is advised to use alternate sites, such as the disposal sites at Wilkes (Charleswood Lagoon), McPhillips, South End Pollution Control Centre, and Ravelston.
