BOVONI LANDFILL - SCRAP METAL AREA FIRE
(St. Thomas, USVI) – The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) advises the community that the Bovoni Landfill will open to VIWMA private haulers on Sunday, July 9, 2023, from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. These special hours will help eliminate the build-up of trash that occurred due to the closure of the landfill. We expect normal operations to resume at the Bovoni Landfill no later than Tuesday, July 11, 2023.
VIWMA would like to thank the Virgin Islands Fire Department, the Virgin Islands Port Authority, and the Government of the Virgin Islands for their assistance with extinguishing the fire at the scrap metal area. Also, we would like to apologize and thank the community for their patience as we dealt with this unfortunate situation.
