Town to halt use of city landfill in April
North Battleford will have a little less waste in its landfill now that the Town of Battleford has decided to use an alternate service.
The city confirmed at its Feb. 12 meeting that it received a letter from the town indicating it would end its agreement to use the North Battleford Waste Management Facility effective April 18.
The city had already factored in the resulting loss in revenue from the termination in the contract in this year’s budget.
“This has been known for awhile,” said Mayor Ryan Bater. “It’s a significant amount of money, but it also means we don’t fill our landfill as quickly. The Waste Management Facility has a capacity, so this will reduce the amount of waste going in there.”
