Description

The Work required under this Contract consists of active bird control at Hartland Landfill.
Hartland Landfill attracts large numbers of nuisance birds, mostly seagulls, crow and ravens, due to the presence of waste disposed at the Active Face of the landfill. The number of birds is seasonal, fluctuating depending on the availability of natural food sources elsewhere. High season is approximately September to May and low season is approximately May to August.

The birds create a number of problems including health risks to CRD staff, contractors, neighbours and the general public due to direct exposure to flying birds or from droppings, damage to equipment and facilities. Effective bird abatement will minimize the spread of litter on the Landfill Property and adjacent properties, as well as decrease the health and safety risks to the works as outlined above.
