‘Operations May Result In Unpleasant Odors’
“The Ministry of Public Works will be conducting its Biannual Septage Disposal Operations soon, and noted that while it ”may result in unpleasant odors being experienced in the residential areas surrounding the Marsh Folly Composting Facility” there are “no environmental risks to area residents.”
A Government spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Public Works is advising that during the week of 10 December, 2018, it will conduct its Biannual Septage Disposal Operations.
“These operations may result in unpleasant odors being experienced in the residential areas surrounding the Marsh Folly Composting Facility. Despite the unpleasant odor, the Ministry assures there are no environmental risks to area residents.
“For the public’s reference, the operations process is as follows:
- The Tynes Bay Septage Receiving Facility collects residential and commercial cesspit waste from around the Island. Every six months, the Tynes Bay Septage Receiving Facility is required to remove these waste solids and transport it to Marsh Folly. The Ministry uses best health and safety and environmental practices while executing these procedures.
“The Ministry would like to thank the public for their patience, cooperation and understanding while these necessary works are conducted.

There is a canal which drains ” Pembroke Marsh” through Mills Creek,into the Great Sound .
To lessen the impact of land fill , Tynes bay facility was constructed where some refuse not all, is being burnt, we still dump and fill large items in the Castle Harbour as land reclamation, we also export some items to be re cycled.The City of Hamilton pumps waste to sea at Grape bay.
