It’s amazing how much garbage people produce. This photograph shows one month’s worth of household garbage the garbage truck has collected from residents of the Town of Davidson. The refuse has filled one corner of the new pit at Davidson’s landfill. The new pit remains closed to the general public. Only residential garbage collected by town employees during weekly pickup is being put in the new pit. Before spring this garbage will be spread out to form a cushion to help prevent the clay liner from being punctured when the pit is opened to the public and will be accepting garbage and debris. The pit is lined with one metre of clay that is topped with a thick layer of sand. The Town of Davidson has proposed new rates for the landfill and is also reviewing landfill operations.
