Petrolia’s compost transfer site plans on hold
October 19, 2020
The Independent
The cost of setting up a new compost transfer site and concerns of the public have prompted Petrolia to take a second look at its plans.
Council was set to move forward with the plan, which would cost about $7,000 less to run than the current Waste Management site, but would take over $54,000 to set up.
Recently, a number of people wrote to councillors with concern about the cost of the plan. Some people suggested the town should be encouraging backyard composting, which would cost the municipality nothing.
Councillor Ross O’Hara said the costs now seem “unbelievable” and he questions whether residents still want to spend the money. But Councillor Wade Deighton says he still believes its a good idea.
Council will consider the input Oct. 26.
