Ms. Laurent indicated it has been a recommendation of the Waste Management Committee to limit trash disposal at the Transfer Station to (5)40 gallon bags per trip. It is recommended the Board support a$1 charge per 40 gallon bag for bags over the limit of 5. It was noted there is a$1 bag fee charged for Single Trip Passes for the disposal of more than 5 bags. It is therefore recommended the per bag fee be the same for Single Trip Passes and Household Permits. It was reported that recently, 50 vehicles visited the Transfer Station with more than 5 bags. Five of the vehicles had 10 additional bags. Household permits are obtained by residents. There are no permits issued to commercial entities.
