VIWMA ANNOUNCES THE REOPENING OF THE ANGUILLA LANDFILL

(St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands) — The Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority (VIWMA) advises the public that the fire at the Anguilla Landfill has been contained and the facility has resumed limited operations for commercial haulers.

To ensure continued safety while crews remain active within the working phase of the landfill, traffic into the facility is currently limited. All haulers and landfill users are asked to exercise caution and follow all instructions provided by on-site personnel.

These temporary operational measures are necessary to support ongoing monitoring and containment efforts within the landfill’s active working area.

VIWMA appreciates the patience, cooperation, and understanding shown by commercial haulers and the community throughout the response and recovery process. The Authority will continue monitoring conditions closely and provide updates should operational changes become necessary.
