AGENCY MAKES TRASH-TRANSFER SITE PROPOSAL
The Wythe-Bland Public Service Authority is offering $248,000 for land to be used as a transfer station to carry solid waste to a landfill in some other location.
Where that location will be is not known, because negotiations have broken off with a private contractor to haul waste from the two counties for disposal.
The counties now are seeking proposals from other private solid-waste disposal firms.
The B.C. Umberger family, owner of the 20-acre site, is being asked to respond to the offer in two weeks. The authority voted Monday night to make the offer.
Authority Chairman Andy Kegley said getting a disposal system in place before new state-landfill requirements become official in October would be a close call. The requirements will mean that existing landfills serving the two counties must stop taking trash.
The authority will meet again to take trash-disposal proposals March 30 at 2 p.m.
