As part of the overall contribution to landfill, that puts Clinton at about 14 per cent, Goderich Township at 8.4 per cent and Hullett at five per cent of all waste heading into the Mid -Huron Landfill Site. The town of Goderich continues to be the largest producer of waste, sending 2876 tonnes, or 43 per cent of all Mid -Huron bound waste, to landfill in the first nine months of this year. Originally slated to close next year, the landfill clo- sure has been moved back numerous times due to an overall decrease in waste and an increase in recycling. The latest figures put the closure date at 2017. The affected municipalities cur- rently using Mid -Huron are looking to South Huron as a new location for waste. While July was the biggest month for Clin- ton at 194 tonnes sent to landfill, the largest volume of waste overall was sent in May. Most of that - 447 tonnes - was from Seaforth, resulting from an April 27 fire that gutted the town's only grocery store.
