Marsh Folly Operating Hours Reminder

October 31, 2014

The Waste Management Section of the Ministry of Public Works is reminding the public that regular operating hours at the Marsh Folly Composting facility have resumed.

A spokesperson said, “The composting facility will be open on Saturday, November 1st during regular weekend hours from 7.30 a.m. until 12 noon, and from Monday to Friday, from 7.30 a.m. until 4 p.m. [closed for lunch 12 – 1pm].

“It is particularly important for the public to note these operating hours. To reduce the risk of fire at the site, Marsh Folly must comply with the regulations imposed by the Bermuda Fire Service that limit the volume of un-milled material the composting site can have at any given time.”

“Due to the amount of horticultural waste from back to back storms, staff have been working for extended hours to reduce these piles by milling into smaller materials. Landscaping and trucking companies are asked to comply with the regular operating hours and allow the composting staff to mill materials after non-opening hours without disturbance.”

“There will be no tipping fee at Marsh Folly until further notice to assist the public with post storm clean-up.

“The Government is also actively looking for suitable sites in the eastern and western parishes to assist with handling the high volume of horticultural waste.”
