Yoder, M.D. SUBJECT: Weld County Sanitary Landfills This follows the visit of Commissioner Billings, Mr. Clarence Fry and Ed Brigden to the Greeley-Milliken Sanitary Landfill. Per request, we transmit a report on all Weld County disposal sites as well as Denver metropolitan areas appropriate to our study. It would appear that the cost per unit for disposal in Weld County is within Federal recommended guidelines. It would also appear that the equipment, if kept in proper operating condition, at our disposal areas is at least adequate. Mr. Paul and I are available to discuss if so desired. cc: Glen E.

MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. Yoc,,, -6- February 23, 1976 FROM: Glen Paul RE: Weld County Sanitary Landfills U.S. Dept. of Health, _Education and Welfare states that the unit -cost of a small landfill , less than 50,0010 tons per year, varies from $1 .23 to approximately $5.00 per ton. The unit cost of a large landfill , handling more than 50,00-0 tons per year, will generally fall between $.75 to $2.-00 per ton. Please note the U.S. Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare is talking in terms of tonnage in the operating costs and average equipment requirements. We have listed our sanitary landfill charges in yards and number of vehicles. It is fair to s-ay that the small packer truck, single axle, a yard will weigh 500 to 600 pounds and the large packer truck, double axle, a yard will weigh 800 to 1 ,000 pounds. The Colorado Department of Health and Weld County Health Department recommends the cost per ton or yard not be set too low that the operator _cannot meet the minimum state and county regulations.
