NO ASHES
A scary time at the Baddeck Transfer Station today. A bag of ashes caught fire in the wagons. Fortunately, our staff found it & extinguished it before it could spread or be dumped on the tipping floor and no one was hurt. Please, DO NOT send your ashes to any of our sites or place them out for collection.
