Officials of Western Regional Landfill Inc. (WRLI) and its participating municipalities, and Loraas Environmental Services Ltd. gathered west of Kindersley to celebrate the official sod-turning of the new regional landfill project.
Loraas has entered into an agreement with WRLI to construct and operate the new landfill, which will replace the existing Kindersley landfill that is nearing the end of its useful life and its provincial permit to operate. Nineteen municipalities are partnering to fund the $3.75 million project on a per capita basis.
“This is a very significant undertaking for Kindersley and surrounding region, and a great example of regional cooperation by all involved,” said WRLI president Curtis Sackville. “I am proud of what we have accomplished and very excited about the economic and environmental benefits the new landfill will bring to our region.”
The Town of Kindersley is the largest of the municipalities and will assume 46 percent ($1,664,996.58) of the total cost. The Town of Kerrobert is the second largest partner, while many of the other participating rural and urban municipalities serve populations of less than 500.
Operation of the new regional landfill is scheduled to begin in 2018.
