Dump Trucks HALT Bringing Loads to Edwards Landfill
The operator of the contentious Edwards Landfill won’t send Garbage trucks to the site until March to give police time to negotiate an end to the blocking of trucks by citizens and natives opposed to the dump’s operation. Toronto-based SF Partners Incorporated obtained a court injunction a month ago to halt blockades by members of Six Nations and Haldimand Against Landfill Transfers, but the Ontario Provincial Police have informed the receivers it would like to find another way to end the protests rather than resort to arresting people. Meanwhile, senior vise-president of SF Partners Brahm Rosen, said his firm has halted truck traffic into the dump and has moved to winterize the landfill liner to protect it from deep frost and aims to open the dump in the spring. Creditors for the bankrupt owners, Haldimand Norfolk Sanitary Landfill, which received ministry approval in 2004 to reopen the old dump, are owed about $10 million. Rosen said he’s had a few inquires about buying the dump, the issue is at what price and how much of the money creditors will see.
