Last week, weather delays caused an unexpected â albeit, brief â closure to the public of the Solid Waste Transfer Station in Copperas Cove.
Though the delays were at the Temple Landfill, where the city of Copperas Cove takes its trash, some residents who normally visit the station to dump their waste, would have been turned away for what amounted to two and a half days.
What would happen if the Temple Landfill unexpectedly closed for an extended period of time?
City officials said there is a plan for that, should the situation arise.
âIf something like that was to happen, we have the ability to work with other regional landfills to take our refuse there,â said Cove City Manager Ryan Haverlah on Tuesday afternoon.
