The Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre (OVWRC) wishes to advise customers of an upcoming site closure. The Centre will close on the following dates:
Friday, July 18 from 11:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Saturday, July 19 from 8:00 a.m. t0 4:00 p.m.
The closure applies to both the main entrance at Gate 1 as well as the Household Hazardous Waste Depot and North Algona Wilberforce Depot at Gate 3. This closure is required for replacement of the weigh scale at Gate 1.
“Our current scale has been operational since 2002 and in the last few years has required significant repairs which results in downtime for our customers.” Comments OVWRC General Manager, Laurie Benjamin. “The scale is an essential part of our operations, weighing all materials that are received. Replacement of our existing scale will ensure we can provide consistent and efficient service to our customers.”
No customers will be received through Gate 1 or Gate 3 after 11:30 on July 18 and all day on July 19. The Centre will resume normal operating hours on Monday, July 21.
“The Centre apologizes for any inconvenience and we appreciate everyone’s cooperation during this closure.” Adds Benjamin.
