Garbage rates to rise in July
By Jacque^ne Woge
Emerald Reporter
Lane County residents ran expert garbage
rates to go up in July, whether they haul gar
huge to the dump themselves or puv for curb
side garbage service
Ken Sanduski. Lane Couniv rr» vi ling i oor
(iinator. said rates must be raised or the counts
will not have enough money to pav tor its so!
id w aste services
Sanduski said he estimates the rate increase
will be substantia! and people will notice it
He said he does not believe consumers would
dispute tile need In tnr reuse the fees but rather
the amount of the increase
"The typical household garbage hill has
been a small and inconsequential expense, hut
.is we txicome more concerned about environ
mental protection and solid Waste the bill will
be greater,” Sanduski said
The increasing cost of operating the county's
solid waste program ts a direct result of new
environmental regulations as well as general
eost-of-opornting increases The new regula
tions are Federal Subtitle 1), Stale Senate Hill
(if. and the Clean Air Act
Keli Osborn, development analyst with the
City of Eugene, said Senate Hill f.ii requires Or
egon . dies with more than 40,000 people to re
duce their garbage by to percent by 10*15
Osborn said Lane County staff estimates that
the metro area already recovers -0 peri eld of
its waste Recovering tile remaining 10 pen cut
will Ixi more difficult.
Of the number of recovery options outlined
by the hill, the Lane County metro area chose
weekly curbside recycling, education, progres
sive rates (the more thrown out. the greater the
hill) and yard debris recycling.
Because yard debris makes up 20 percent of
waste in the county. % art! debris ret voting will
be the most significant of the recovery pro
grams Sand'aski estimated that the yard debris
program could < nst a low of S2.730.000 to a
high ot SS.nStl.OOO ! he greatest expense
would lie for a yard debris processing renter
He estimated that buying land and construct
ing *>nd operating the r enter would cost from
SI 5 to St million
Initially, the yard debris program will In
voluntary. with about six depots lor people to
drop off leaves, tree branches and shrubs
However, to meet the 30 percent recovery re
quirement, the haulers will eventually have to
pit k up the yard debris at the curb along with
other tin vr Inbles, Sanduski saul
I he county has recycled some yard debris
situ e Pint and has l>een abb- to sell everything
t! produces, but selling all the compost created
from a larger program may be a challenge
