Subject: landfill costs
Importance: High
Gentlemen,
Heavy Trash amounts are increased by roughly 18 percent. That fact coupled with the additional debris from the winter
storm indicates we will be short by roughly $120,000 for landfill fees.
Please advise what additional information is required.
It appears with the significant increase in Heavy Trash collection and the price increases with the new contract I will
exceed my landfill budget.
I am looking into the specifics right now. I am trying to get out ahead of this as it may require a budget amendment.
