Open House Tonight At Landfill

If you have old paint, oil, batteries and computers, you can drop them off tonight during an open house at the Fundy Solid Waste Commission from 5 until 8:00.

The open house being held to commemorate 10 years of composting which began back in 2001 and since then, the landfill has 77 thousand fewer tons of organic material.

There has been a bit of a decline in composting over the past two years which the Waste Commission would like to turn around.

Brenda McCallum of the Waste Commission tells CHSJ News energy is also being generated at the landfill from all that trash you throw away by capturing the methane.

The Waste Commission and Irving Oil will be getting together this weekend to collect hazardous materials and old computers.
