County Board Seeks Cheaper Rural Waste Plan
Washington County Supervisors rejected three bids for a rural waste collection system designed to serve residents as landfills close. The plan would place 28 metal boxes across the county for trash, with private haulers collecting twice weekly and transporting to SEMCO landfill near Richland. A quarter mill levy would fund about $15,000 yearly, but bids ranged from $17,224 and up, missing SEMCO gate charges. Chairman Ralph Marshall said bids were too high and plans will be reworked for potential re-bids or negotiations.
