Private Landfill Costs Higher By CARL LANGLEY
Aiken County faces about 600000 more yearly costs if a private firm runs the Savannah River Site regional landfill versus county operation. Current disposal runs about 12 per ton, could rise to 20 per ton under private operation. Delays in permits and construction threaten opening by November 15, with January 1 more realistic, adding at least 600000 in extra costs through six months. The site plans two 15 acre cells initially, expanding to over 100 acres with seven cells, and a 40 year life, plus potential recycling to cut volume. Three Rivers Solid Waste Authority moves to negotiate with Nations Waste of Columbia as eight counties will use the facility.
