Yukon government offers Keno City residents new waste collection process
New waste collection equipment is coming to Keno as the Government of Yukon provides residents with some of the support they’ve been asking for.
Each household in Keno will receive bear-resistant garbage and recycling carts, which will form part of a waste collection service that will be available in the community once the Yukon Government closes the waste transfer station.
The Hecla Mining Company will offer regular garbage pickup and transportation service.
The Yukon government will lend a trailer to help Hecla move the garbage to a neighbouring facility.
The Keno waste transfer station will close in early December.
