Franklin County weighs solid waste plan at Ottawa hearing
About 50 residents attended the Franklin County solid waste hearing in Ottawa to learn and comment on a proposed county wide system. The plan envisions a sanitary landfill overseen by a manager or engineer, with private contractors possible for city, small communities, and rural pickups at estimated costs totaling 294 900 yearly. The committee proposes a service charge funded plan, with penalties for illegal dumping and exemptions for residents who handle waste on their property, and a final plan due to county commissioners by 1976.
