Users of Moose Jaw’s landfill will have to adjust when they drop off their materials after the City of Moose Jaw temporarily reduced hours due to staffing issues.
The security company that looks after the landfill, Security Resource Group, has not had enough people to monitor the site during its usual hours, so city hall changed the closing time to ensure suitable coverage.
The regular hours from Monday to Saturday are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in the spring and summer, while Sundays are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Due to the staffing problem, city hall briefly revised the Monday to Saturday hours to 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., while it left Sunday hours as they are.
The adjustment will be brief, though, and the regular hours are expected to return to normal by Saturday, April 10.
“We always want to offer proper hours, but in this case, we’re managing the situation as best we can,” said communications manager Craig Hemingway. “It’s an inconvenience for sure — and an unfortunate one — but we’re doing the best we can.”
City hall always hopes that such situations are as short as possible, he added. Municipal officials look forward to when the landfill returns to regular hours.
The sanitary landfill is located along the northeastern edge of city limits at 1802 Caribou Street East.
