Bluestem Agency Eyes Waste Handling Costs for Linn County
Bluestem Solid Waste Agency projects total annual costs of about 7.1 million to ship trash to Waste Management in Morrison Illinois and 5.7 million to operate a new transfer station and landfill. The plan includes a 35 per ton tipping fee, 15.80 per landfill operation, and 2.45 state fees, with Magill arguing Allied Waste Systems could handle the load for 5.4 million annually and a county landfill could cost 8 million per year.
