WEST GREY, ON — At the November 30, 2021 budget meeting, and following a review of the input from a month-long community survey, West Grey council directed staff to implement landfill changes to the Durham and Normanby sites. There are no operational changes for the municipality’s primary landfill in Bentinck.
Council has approved the following landfill service changes:
Durham landfill: Hours have been changed to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be no landfill service on Thursdays.
Normanby landfill: A seasonal closure will remain in effect, with a reopening in May. Staff will report back on operational options prior to the reopening.
Bentinck landfill will remain open on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
These changes are anticipated to generate cost savings while staff investigate additional operational options for the three sites.
