UPDATED: HEATHER BOA Bullet News Huron GODERICH – A collection of chairs from provincial court offices on the third floor of the tornado-damaged courthouse were taken to the City of Stratford landfill site, the County facilities manager confirmed today.
David Overboe said he was informed by a representative of the company contracted by the County to complete restoration and remediation to the County-owned courthouse, Belfor Property Restoration, that the chairs were sent to the Stratford landfill site because a company employee lives in that city and was driving the truck to which the trailer was attached.
He said Infrastructure Ontario, which manages facilities for the province, gave instructions to Belfor to dispose of the chairs, which were owned by the Ministry of the Attorney General.
Earlier this week, County councillors, staff and observers left the second-floor county council chambers today to pass a few dozen stacked office chairs with yellow Post-it notes attached that marked them as “discard.”
According to information posted on the City’s website, only garbage generated within the boundaries of the City of Stratford is accepted at the landfill site.
Meanwhile, Huron OPP confirm it received a complaint Feb. 10 about the disposal of the chairs and is following up.
