The Dominica Solid Waste Management Corporation (DSWMC) wishes to notify the general public that the Fond Cole Landfill will be closed today until further notice.
That decision was made due to a fire that occurred at the Landfill around 4:00 pm on Sunday, April 28, and has continued throughout this morning.
Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the DSWMC Rhoda St John told Dominica News Online (DNO) moments ago that it is currently unclear what caused the fire.
However, she said fire officials are on site and trying to control the fire.
DNO understands that access to the landfill is limited only to the company trucks.
DNO will continue to follow that story and provide more information in a later publication.
