Firm cited for dumping out-of-county trash here
LCCC Disposal Inc. of Tuscarora was found hauling out of county waste into Frederick County’s Reich's Ford Road landfill. Public Works Director Wayne Keeler said the firm will be banned from the site pending an appeal set for March 19 before the Frederick County Commissioners. The county considers higher fees as it debates nearly doubling the $18 per ton rate to deter out-of-county dumping by haulers.
