In the past, the effort was to bring in as much waste as possible to make this operation viable, to the point the commission considered taking in garbage from outside the five counties. Landfilling alone was never an option. Also, the proposal is expected to turn waste haulers into big competitors. The goal, I guess, is to have them reduce rates for customers. Few people are complaining about the rates now.
Big garbage can, bigger fee.
Big dumpster, really big fees. If this facility isn t fiscally sound, bond holders will be getting edgy, too. But, you say, the commercial end will be more fairly assessed. But will it be enough to make up for the reduction in other areas. The intent, I ve heard, is to encourage large waste generators to reduce amounts, thus reducing their costs.
