Landfill

can symphathize with Putnam County’s landfill problem. “It’s a big problem all over,” Myers determined. “When we were about in the same boat no; long ago, we went over to Vigo County to see if they could help us out. They (Vigo County) told us to keep our own trash in our own county. Then, Mr. Bedwell came to us. “IT’S NO SMALL ITEM,” Myers said of paying for landfill services. “We’re paying about three times as much now to get rid of our trash than what we were three or four years ago. But what else can we do?” And cost it does. Last year, Putnam County spent $46,834 for the operation of the landfill, which includes operator Allen’s fee. In addition, the county rents the landfill property for S4OO per month and paid a total of $4,800 for last year. This year, operator Allen is being paid $3,975 per month by the county, according to Putnam County Auditor Myrtle Cockrell. But, she adds, increased state regulations has caused the county to do more work at the landfill at a higher price. MRS. COCKRELL NOTED in February of this year, the county paid a total of $20,291.05 for landfill expenses. In March, the cost amounted to only Allen’s month fee of $3,975. But again in April the cost associated with running the landfill jumped to $21,075, Mrs. Cockrell said, because the state demanded additional work. The auditor also noted that the county is continuing to pay the S4OO-per-month land rental fee.

The rental fee must be paid for the rest of this year, even after the landfill closes June 30, she adds. Those figures confirm what the commissioners have said all along, that it appears it is becoming too costly for counties to operate landfills on their own. In addition to the Clay County possibility, Walton did say Thursday that the board is considering a transfer station. “That is only a slight possibility,” Walton clarified, “because that would be very costly. “I HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING what has taken place in the legislature and there are new laws coming into effect Sept. 1 that will effect landfills. It’s getting to the point where it is too prohibitive (for a county) to operate one.” The answer to Putnam County’s landfill problem will not come easily, Walton advised, but the commissioners hope to adequately study all alternatives, seeking a solution that will be best for the taxpayers and the county. “This is something that we’ve got to look at very strong,” he concluded. Apparently, the next discussion regarding the landfill will not occur until the Putnam County Council meets May 21. At that time, the commissioners will appear before the seven-member Council to request an additional appropriation of $60,000. Although it appears that much money will not be needed, those funds are scheduled to be used to properly close out the present landfill site in Putnam County.
