Work continuing to remove smell at Wiltshire landfill site

In a statement Hills Waste Solutions who manage Chapel Hill landfill near Swindon said they had taken the decision to temporarily suspend landfill operations. In an effort yo solve the problem, further work will be carried out.

Additional capping material is being moved into the operational area of the site to assist with

sealing off areas where potential odours are coming from. A drilling rig is due to be on site to install

further gas extraction wells in the operational area on Wednesday the 12th March. It is anticipated

that the suspension of landfilling activities will enable a full assessment of the installations and their

effectiveness.
