Dear Commissioners,
Recent publicity indicates that there are some problems and concerns
regarding landfills and landfill operations in the County. Aware
of these and other problems for some time, it is our feeling that
outlying landfills will continue to lose money, that new EPA re-
quirements will make it harder and costlier to operate landfills,
and that environmental cleanliness will become an ever-increasing
concern. Therefore, we would like to propose an alternative that
should solve or greatly reduce the impact of the above problems.
Following a brief conversation with you last Thursday, we have
reviewed some possibilities that would work. In areas of low-
volume trash generation, we would propose a container, of 8 or 10
yard capacity, to be dumped once or twice per week. This would work
well in areas such as Briggsdale. In higher-volume areas, we
suggest construction of a site for compactor equipment. At these
locations (Prospect Valley and Erie areas) would be compactors with
42 yard containers, which would be dumped as required.
It is our feeling that implementation of the above would 1) reduce
the necessity for numerous low-volume landfills within the County,
2) increase rubbish collection service to parts of the County that
are now unserved, 3) reduce the amount of unintentional and intent-
ional littering and dumping along highways and in non-approved
dumping sites, and 4) alleviate EPA concern regarding landfills and
rubbish collection procedures.
We would like to meet with you at your convenience to review further
these ideas and their implementation and to work with you on evaluat-
ing their cost. We, too, are interested in good collection and
landfill systems in Weld County and are challenged by the oportunity
to design and implement a pilot program that would be unique for the
County.

Aware of a similar program that is working well in another area,
we are excited by the prospects for Weld County.
Thank you for your attention. We look forward to sharing these
ideas with you.
Very Truly Yours,
