Taking the trash out of Nisbet Forest
An unauthorized dumping site in Nisbet Forest, just outside Prince Albert, received a makeover Thursday morning, April 28.
Sarah Keith, the landfill manager for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, said her crew of over 30 workers removed nearly 18 trucks worth of waste from the forest, everything from bags of household waste to appliances and tires.
Keith has been involved in numerous similar waste removal projects, but this time she was especially frustrated by something new.
“They’d used (the area) as a shooting ground, so everything they’d hauled out there had been shot apart, which makes it much more difficult when it’s all in little pieces rather than when it’s whole,” she said.
