New landfill cell to be opened at Haags Bosch today

The temporary landfill site at Le Repentir Cemetery has been closed as steps are being taken towards opening a new cell at the Haags Bosch facility by midday today to ease a growing garbage problem in the city.

City Solid Waste Management Director with the City Council, Walter Narine confirmed yesterday that the gates to the temporary landfill had been padlocked earlier yesterday as access to the site has been completely closed off. The Le Repentir site had been reopened as a fire at Haags Bosch had curtailed the offloading of garbage there. Narine yesterday
