Easier, faster composting

Construction is complete on a state of the art compost receiving area at Lindsay Ops landfill. The new compost site features innovative engineering design and is much larger than the previous site, making leaf and yard waste drop off easier and faster for residents.

“We are excited to be able to provide the public with more efficient service now, and as we move into the future,” said David Kerr, manager of environmental services.

“The new system has room for growth, is safer and more environmentally friendly.”

In order to access the new compost site all traffic must go over the landfill scales and proceed to the far north end of the site where signs will direct the public where to drop off leaf and yard waste. Residents are asked not to use the old drop off location beside the main gates.

Residents are invited to attend the Lindsay Ops Landfill open house to learn more about how the City protects the environment at the landfill. The open house will be held Oct. 25 from 7-8 pm in the Victoria Room at City Hall, 26 Francis St., Lindsay.
