The town of Eston has expanded the landfill hours and changed it’s rates.

The landfill located two miles east of Eston on Highway 44, and then one and a half miles south is now open three full days a week.

The new hours are as follows:
  • Tuesday 8 am-4 pm
  • Thursday 8 am-4 pm from October to March and 12 pm-8 pm from April to September
  • Saturday 8 am-4 pm

The board has made the choice to change the rates as a response to the feedback that has been received.

Landfill access outside of normal business hours can be obtained based on staff availability and can be booked through the Town Office at a rate of $50 each visit in addition to regular landfill rates and $25 per trip during regular hours.

The town of Eston's Chief Administrative Officer Michelle MacDonald talked about the decision.
 
 
The landfill is jointly operated by the RM of Snipe Lake, and the Eston and District Landfill Authority which is a subcommittee of members from the town and members from the RM.
