Liverpool landfill closure could raise village taxes
Mayor Floyd Tillotson warns state action ending the Liverpool Clay landfill will push costs up. Hauling brush to Clay costs about 2060 dollars monthly, totaling roughly 24000 dollars yearly and about six dollars per thousand of assessed value. The Wetlands Act denial blocks renewal, delaying a new site and risking higher tipping fees and longer hauls. The village may cut refuse pickup or negotiate with the private hauler when contracts expire in 1979.
