THUNDER BAY — The City of Thunder Bay's solid waste and recycling facility has reopened.

The Mapleward Road landfill site was closed for the entire day Monday after a fire was discovered in a waste pile at the main public tipping face.

Thunder Bay firefighters spent much of the day dousing the area with water and foam.

The landfill is closed on Sundays.

Staff discovered the fire when they returned to work early Monday morning.
