Temporary Site Closure – Sechelt Landfill
Due to an emergency scale replacement project, the Sechelt Landfill will be closed next week on Tuesday September 3 and Wednesday September 4.
Last week, Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) staff had to make changes to operations at the landfill and close the existing scale for safety purposes.
The project taking place next week will involve the installation of a temporary portable scale while the SCRD works to replace the permanent scale in the coming months. As such, with heavy machinery on site, the landfill will not be accessible for the duration of the work.
The SCRD is confident the project will be completed within the planned dates. However, if a late start is required on Thursday September 5 or if it is possible to open the site earlier than planned, information will be shared via the SCRD’s website and Facebook channel.
The most up-to-date information will always be available at www.scrd.ca/landfill.
The Pender Harbour Transfer Station will be open on Monday and Wednesday but will not accept loads larger than 20 yards. Directions and further information about the transfer station is available at www.scrd.ca/transfer-station/.
The SCRD understands that this causes an inconvenience to both business and residential customers of the site and appreciates their understanding. Once the site reopens we will be able to accept all loads, including drywall, again.
