The new landfill that will support Kindersley and surrounding area was anticipated to be open earlier this fall but is still not quite ready, according to the Town.

Kim Vogel, director of transportation and environment with the Town of Kindersley, explained they have run into some issues with both the weather and construction that has delayed operations.

Although the new site is needed not just for Kindersley, but surrounding municipalities as well, Vogel said residents will not experience interruptions with curbside collection while the new landfill is being complete.

The new site is located a few kilometres west from the current landfill, residents can access the new landfill off Highway 7 once it is complete.

Vogel stated that they do not have a day the new site will be open but are hoping to determine an official day within the next two weeks.
