The Nova Scotia government has awarded a Dartmouth, N.S., company a $7.2-million contract to clean up an abandoned construction and demolition landfill site in Harrietsfield. "Eleven years and it's been an uphill battle," Brown said about the fight to have the former RDM Recycling site cleaned up. Harrietsfield resident Marlene Brown helped spearhead the community effort pushing for the contaminated site to get cleaned up. "It's going to be wonderful, but the only problem is there's still 120,000 tonnes of toxic debris buried on the site," Brown said. Site will become provincial parkland, says MLAMaguire said after the site is cleaned up, it will be turned into provincial parkland.
