Triage Service at Landfill

 

Councillor Smeaton brought forward some inquiries from residents at the scale house and improving traffic flow.  He suggested staff approach customers to determine their waste type and allow leaf & yard as well as recyclables to by-pass the scales due to the no-charge nature of the loads.  K.
