Pangman (cpd) — The Pangman landfill will be closed as of Jan. 31 2015. The landfill must be closed as the current location does not meet the standards necessary to operate new government regulations. The Environmental Protection Officer in charge of the Pangman landfill permit has determined that the current cell should be the final cell. Any requests to extend the life of the landfill could complicate the process and increase the cost of closing the landfill.
If garbage removal is required, contact either Goliath Disposal Ltd. in Weyburn or Regens Disposal Ltd. in Estevan for more information.
If you are undertaking a large project after the landfill closure, please make alternate arrangements such as calling on suppliers to deliver a large bin to suit your project or hauling the material to the Weyburn landfill.
Recycling services are still available in the Village of Pangman. They are located near the Pangman School.
