The Landfill Owners Group <br />recommended approval of two changes to the landfill tipping fee <br />schedule at its last meeting. The fee for disposal of mixed solid <br />waste was recommended to increase from $21 /ton to $21.50 /ton. The fee <br />for scrap tire disposal was recommended to be re- established at <br />$1 /tire. The fee had been dropped as of January 1, 1992, but a <br />dramatic increase in the number of tires disposed of at no charge <br />during the first few months of 1992 led the LOG to recommend <br />reimposition of the charge for tire disposal. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br />fees for mixed solid waste disposal at $21.50 /ton and for scrap <br />tire disposal at $1 /tire. <br />
