Lyle Ruf, operations manager with the Regional Authority of Carlton Trail (REACT) Waste Management, said that this restriction is expected to last until another compactor is ready, which they’re hoping will only take a week. “It was isolated to one little area, but it did a fair amount of damage,” Ruf said on May 19. “We have a spare compactor that’s actually being repaired up there and it will be transferred up there hopefully by the end of this week or early next week unless things don’t go smooth, then it might be mid-week.” What REACT suspects happened is somebody put ashes from a fit pit or wood stove into their bin that ignited after being tipped into the landfill on May 12.
