Landfill Site Stickers – you must have a windshield sticker displayed to use the landfill sites. Stickers are available to all residents at the Oliver Paipoonge Municipal Office during regular business hours. LANDFILL SITES DON’T LAST FOREVER…. The amount going into the pit can be reduced by recycling much of your garbage. If the pit continues to be filled at the current rate, both landfill sites will likely be closed within the next 20 years. Opening and closing costs are very expensive and the municipality will have to pay those costs through raising taxes. ITEMS THAT ARE RECYCLED DON’T FILL UP THE LANDFILL!!! Recycled items are trucked out of the landfill site for processing elsewhere.
WHAT CAN BE DONE?
Reduce the amount of garbage you produce in your home or business.....ANDRECYCLE what you create....
