Haags Bosch Landfill now a controlled dump site – Manager

Pickers sorting through a delivery of garbage for valuables

The Haags Bosch Sanitary Landfill has returned to normalcy and is now operating as a controlled dump site, Lloyd Stanton, Site Manager said on Friday during a tour of the operation with the Junior Minister of Communities Dawn Hastings.

Stanton, during a briefing with reporters, explained that over a year ago the site was a “chaotic situation with the previous contractor, resulting with a big fire.” He added that they have managed “to bring back the landfill to a level of normalcy.”

Last year, Puran Brothers Disposal Inc. was awarded a $221 million contract for the operation and maintenance of the Haags Bosch Sanitary Landfill for a period of one year.

According to the site manager, within the last year they have been able to successfully complete the first phase of work to restore the site to a landfill.
