Prince George, B.C. – The  temporary closure of the Foothills Landfill  is not  expected to have any impact  on  residential garbage pick up  today.

The City is aware of the  problem at the landfill,   which  is dealing with a possible hazardous waste issue.   The City says  garbage pick up  in the red  zone is “business as usual”  and  if the  landfill doesn’t open   till later  today,  the  material will be “kept on board”  the trucks until the  site reopens.

There  are  4 thousand homes  in the red  garbage zone  expecting pick up today.

The Regional District of Fraser Fort George is expected to provide more information on the  landfill  situation later this morning.
