WENT Landfill temporarily suspends waste reception
**************************************************
At about 9am today, there was soil displacement on a slope near the main access road within the landfill area. No injuries were reported. The contractor immediately arranged for geotechnical engineers to conduct an on-site inspection and assessment, and reported the incident to the Civil Engineering and Development Department. The EPD has requested the contractor to submit a report within seven days.
The landfill contractor is carrying out emergency repairs with a view to resuming the normal services of the landfill as soon as possible. The EPD has currently suspended waste reception at the WENT Landfill to facilitate the contractor's assessment and repair works. During the suspension, affected users may use other refuse transfer stations or deliver waste to the North East New Territories Landfill direct for disposal. The EPD has notified the industry about the suspension and will maintain close contact with them.
