Dive Brief:

• The Auburn City Council in New York has determined that the rates at the city landfill were too low.
• Most of the councilors agreed to raise the rates for both town and county patrons.
• The increased rates will be put in place for construction and demolition materials.

Dive Insight:

An exploratory discussion will take place with haulers to assess the impact of the increase. Another concern for the council members is that the landfill is operating with limited space as it approaches the end of its lifespan.
