The Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw has rejected the City of Moose Jaw's discretionary use application to build a new landfill on land just north of the city.
The RM council met for its monthly meeting on June 18 and voted against the application, which would have seen the city construct a new solid waste management venue on 156.09 hectares (390.23 acres) of land. The site would was proposed for 1.6 kilometres north and west of Highway 1 and Highway 2, respectively.
This new venue would replace the current landfill, which is almost 100 years old and allegedly has three to four years of space left.
Check back later for a more comprehensive report from the meeting.
