The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) is advising the public of the early closure of the George Town Landfill operation on Discovery Day.

The George Town Landfill will close at 1:00 pm on Monday, May 19, 2025. No derelict vehicles or scrap metal will be received through the gate on this day. However, regular garbage collection and recycling operations will be normal during this public holiday. Regular operations at the George Town Landfill will resume on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. 

Members of the public are also encouraged to use the 24-hour drop-off site at the entrance of the landfill, which will remain open to facilitate the disposal of small amounts of waste from residential customers, if necessary. 

There will be no changes in the schedule for Sister Islands and collections as normal.
