If disposal service is charged
Garbage fees could raise 50
A proposal to charge Hep
pner Garbage Disposal Ser
vice for use of the county
dump will raise garbage col
lection fees in the city by 50
percent, it was announced at
Monday nht's city council
meeting.
Heppner Mayor Cliff Green,
who owns and operates the
disposal service, said the
county intends to begin char
ging him $3.75 a cubic yard
beginning January 1 to use the
county dump.
Green said this amounts to
about $50 per truckload or
$13,000 per year. Previously
there had been no charge.
"I wasn't surprised they put
a charge on that, but I was
flabbergasted by the
amount." said Green, who
Garbage dumping discussed by,
By MARY ANN CFRUI.LO
A concern over people
dumping their garbage on
private property and at county
parks was expressed by the
Heppner Economic Develop
ment Corjioration during a
meeting with Morrow County
Court last Wednesday. Seve
ral suggestions were discus
sed to encourage and improve
use of the county landfill,
located just north of Heppner.
Upon inquiry. Commission
er Irv Rauch explained that
the landfill is required by the
Department of Environmental
Quality and at present, the
county rents the property for
$900 a year. Private indivi
duals are charged $3 per
pickup load for dumping in the
landfill.

went to the County Court last
week to discuss the proposed
charge.
"As mayor I am con
cerned." he said. Green said
the large increase in collection
fees he would have to pass on
to customers would cause
garbage to pile up in the city,
and would increase the
amount of garbage which
would be dumped on county
roads.
The fee was imposed by the
county budget committee in
an effort to offset costs of
operating the dump, says
county Judge Don McElligott.
McElligott said $25,489 is
budgeted for operation of the
dump in 1984, of which $6,500 is
collected through fees from
cities and individuals.
Apparently some people in

vice, owned by Cliff Green,
currently dumps at the landfill
at no charge.
"At this point he (Green)
has it made..." said Judge
Don McElligott, "He's dump
ing at no charge and we (the
county ) cover it (the garbage)
at the county's expense." .
The court informed the
development corporation that
the advisory committee for
the landfill is currently dis
cussing a charge for Green.
Bob Abrams, Heppner at
torney, and representing the
development corp., suggested
that the city automatically
charge a garbage pick-up fee
with individual's water bill.
"I don't know if Cliff
(Green) was talking as a
mayor or a garbage collector,
but he seemed to think it

"The county is a big com

up with," said Commissioner
Warren McCoy.
The development corpora
tion informed the court that
they would like to attend the
next advisory committee
meeting for the landfill. The
court agreed.
On another topic, Jim
