Sanitation Department rate discussion

RANDOLPH, Utah.  January 2, 2019. Lynn Weston, Rich County Sanitation Department, was told that he could proceed with the purchase of a new dumpster truck that has been budgeted for. The county is required to have three bids.  The commissioners will review the bids and at the next meeting the truck can be purchased.

Because the county has been supplementing the Sanitation Department budget, both commercial and residential rate increases are being considered to accurately reflect the cost of garbage removal and dumpsters.  Weston suggested that the cost of garbage removal for short term rentals be related to the number of persons allowed in short term rental license, rather than number of cans or dumpsters. 

He also suggested that planning commissions require places to be designated for dumpsters in new construction of multiple residences. Commissioners suggested that Weston talk to Garden City Council members about the problems of the high use of dumpsters for short term rentals.  A six yard dumpster costs $20 per dump now and Weston suggested that the cost should be $30.
