The Public Works and Infrastructure committee has approved to keep the Waste Disposal Grounds open on Saturdays until the end of the month.

The change comes after feedback received from residents. In past years the site would start operating on winter hours in the end of September. 

Wayne Koversky, Director of Public Works says the change is possible now that the City has taken over operation of the Waste Disposal Grounds.

Councilor Ron Matechuk, chair of the public works and infrastructure committee says the extended hours will give residents an opportunity to clean up their yards and get ready for winter.
