If w...It depends on the choices and context Elaine. If we’re instituting a Zero Waste program we don’t need a new landfill. But if we still stuck in an integrated solid waste program model- as the Kaua`i council apparently is- we supposedly do and I’d still, given the two bad choices, rather ship it out. Either way we’re buying it somewhere out of sight out of mind for most except for those living next to it. <BR/><BR/>We’ll see how the cost shakes out- but if the 99 a ton people do it fine but even if not the higher prices may still be equitable and “doable” considering the savings in other areas of dealing with trash, as I’ve said before.Andy Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398587036690312685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441020117205433950.post-66055683653004786822009-02-12T22:42:00.000-10:002009-02-12T22:42:00.000-10:00"in an opaque trash can to be transferred to someo..."in an opaque trash can to be transferred to someone else’s backyard where we can’t see or smell it."<BR/><BR/>does this mean you'll stop calling for using energy to ship trash 3000 miles to a landfill in WA instead of dealing with the problem locally? Physician, heal thyself.<BR/><BR/>I hope you saw the article in the Honolulu paper outlining how their bid so ship was won at $99/ton with the next two bids (up around $180/ton) crying "impossible" and fraud. Even if the $100 is correct, add in the $30 tipping fee and local expenses and you get back to $140-150/ton which is far more than a local landfill will really cost.<BR/><BR/>Overall. Good post.
