Cleaner Environment to Cost Local Rock Valley Residents
Rock Valley residents face rising costs from stricter Iowa garbage disposal rules. Projections show per person daily solid waste rising from 5 pounds to 9 by 1990, totaling about 1 ton per day locally and 10,500 cubic yards annually, enough to cover six acres one foot deep. The study by Sioux, Lyon, O’Brien counties highlights municipal dumping and health risks as waste increases.
