Jones Road Landfill back in use?

It looks as if the City of Kenora is ready to start using the Jones Road Landfill site for municipal garbage.

Council received a report outlining the increasing costs of sending garbage to the Brady Road Landfill in Winnipeg.

Operations Manager Rick Perchuck says the local landfill site is currrently used only for construction and demolition waste.

Perchuck says the cost of sending garbage to Winnipeg is will almost double this year and suggeststhe city could save about 200 thousand dollars a year by using the Jones Road site.
