The Town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay has recently acquired a Mobile Wood Chipper. This is an initiative between the town and the Multi-Materials Stewardship Board (MMSB) to divert waste from the Municipal Landfill.
The wood chipper will allow the Town to mulch organic waste such as trees, shrubs and logs for landscaping and recreational use throughout the community.
Funding for the initiative was in partnership with MMSB through their 2015 Community Waste Diversion Fund.
Residents, stay tuned for more details in spring 2016!
