Kenora Landfill Compactor

It could be a few more weeks before the City of Kenora can begin hauling municipal waste out to the Jones Road Landfill site.

Council approved the purchase of a Caterpillar landfill compactor at a meeting Wednesday afternoon.

Councillor Dave McCann says they need the machinery before they can start sending garbage out to the landfill site.

The landfill compactor will cost about 238 thousand dollars, and the city is spending another 87 thousand dollars to construct a building to house the equipment.
