Show Demolition fees down FARMINGTON Davis and Morgan County contractors contrac-tors and construction companies engaged in demolition work can now pay less for solid waste disposal. The Administrative Control Board of the Davis County Solid Waste Management and Energy Recovery Special Service District passed resolution 91-09 Wednesday which lowered the cost for disposing of debris from demolition work. Under the new resolution, demolition companies must pay $8 a ton for processible waste; $ 12 a ton for non-processible non-processible waste; and $ 16 for mixed waste which is a combination com-bination of processible and non-processible waste. Previously, the cost for disposal of demolition debris was $50 a ton, a price many companies and contractors said was too high. The board concurred, finding the existing rate posed pos-ed too heavy a burden. David Van De Graff, district controller, said the adjusted rates will provide contractors with an incentive to separate their solid waste. By separating the processible and non-processible non-processible waste, contractors can qualify for cheaper rates. The resolution defines processible waste as garbage. Non-processible waste includes cinder, bricks, steel and stone. The district resolution covers all the cities and unincorporated unincor-porated areas of Davis and Morgan counties except for Bountiful, which maintains its own landfill and treatment facilities. |
