MESA COUNTY, Colo. (KREX) - The Mesa County Landfill will be less expensive after a vote by the commissioners on Tuesday.
The Mesa County Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution to decrease two waste disposal fees. The compacted waste disposal fee went from $42 per ton to $30 per ton, and the loose waste disposal fee was reduced from $51 per ton to $32 per ton. The changes start Feb. 3.
"Mesa County is over 70% public lands, and we want to try to keep those places beautiful and nice," Mesa County Solid Waste and Sustainability Division Director Jennifer Richardson said in a news release. "So hopefully, these low fees will encourage residents to use haulers that utilize the Mesa County Landfill and keep our public spaces clean."
