Three more neighbourhood garbage dumps have reach capacity at Earlscourt Park, Ted Reeve Arena and Wishing Well Park forcing the city to close them tonight at 7 p.m. In response a trio of new temporary trash locations will open tomorrow morning. “All closed sites will continue to be patrolled round-the-clock by both security and city staff and all health and environmental protection measures will continue,” solid waste manager Geoff Rathbone said at a media briefing this afternoon. Starting on July 16 at 7 a.m. three new temporary trash sites will open: Clairlea Park Arena in the parking lot at near Warden and St. Clair Aves. Campbell Park outdoor rink at 225 Campbell Ave. near Dupont St. and Lansdowne Ave. L’Amoreaux Park’s parking lot at 100 Silver Springs Blvd. east of Birchmount Rd. and north of Finch Ave. East. For an updated map of the sites, click here. “Inspectors from Toronto Public Health monitor the sites on a daily basis,” city manager Joseph Pennachetti said today. “As the (city’s) medical officer of health has said in the past temporary garbage sites do not pose a health risk (if) they are well-managed, which they have been. Pest control measures are in place to prevent problems.” |
I updated this on July 24, when two more dumps closed at Caledonia Park and North Toronto Memorial Arena. And July 25, two news sites open at Amesbury Arena and Otter Creek Centre. For full story, click here.
