Several weeks ago, the Roy City Council discussed citizen complaints about holiday garbage problem. Snell said Roys complaints are unique. She said other haulers in the area collect Monday garbage on the Tuesday following Monday holidays. Snell also vetoed Roys haulers request for a key to the landfill because she said expensive equipment would be unprotected and there would be no personnel to process the garbage. When Vern Winterton, Roys hauler, was asked why his firm could not do post holiday pickups, he said his company is a small firm with only two trucks and Roy is a larger than average Weber County city. Winterton said his men begin collecting at 3:30 a.m. and the landfill does not open until 7 a.m. Even using extra crews, landfill hours are not long enough for his firm to collect and dump two days garbage in one day. City Manager Richard Kirkwood pick-u- p schedules. If a major holiday falls on Monday, residents who normally have their garbage collected on Monday must put it out on the preceding Friday night for Saturday collection. Despite notification through the media, many residents were unaware of the change in procedures. On some blocks, garbage sat on the street for a week until the following Monday collection. The Roy City Council decided to in said the problem could be solved by contracting with a larger firm, but residents would have to pay more for service. We selected Wintertons firm because his bid was substantially lower than any of the other bids, said Kirkwood. In an attempt to solve the problem, Councilman Lynn Taylor, who is a member of the Weber County Solid Waste Advisory Board, will ask board members to support Roys request that the landfill open for limited hours on holidays. Snell said the landfills current operating schedule was established in August 1980 following several years of study. She said that Teledynes schedule is in line with many other area landfills. Our studies showed that traffic is not sufficient to warrant keeping it open on holidays. According to Snell, a 1980 poll indicated the majority of haulers liked having the landfill closed on holidays. We cant open the landfill just for Roy, said Snell. The decision whether to change the landfills hours of operation rests with the Solid Waste Advisory Board. Their next meeting will be July 21. In a related matter, the council, Snell and several Roy residents attending the council meeting agreed it was unfair for Weber County homeowners to pay large fees for dumping personal building materials and other items haulers will not pick up. At a previous council meeting, Bert Visser, a Roy resident, had complained that he paid $27 to dump a load of refuse from his backyard. Because the load contained material that haulers will not pick up, Visser had to dispose of it himself. Visser returned to the council to reemphasize his point. I own the dump as a taxpayer.

A possible solution is for Weber County residents to be issued a card certifying their right to use the dump without extra charges. Kirkwood said the Weber Area Council of Governments is discussing this option. I think theyre moving in the direction of a solution. j Club Is Organized ROY charge.
