Landfill supervisor outlines posishell cover to extend life to 75 years; recycling options remain undecided
Summary
Landfill Supervisor Jason Lower said a posishell cover could extend the county landfill's life to 75 years but permitting and further information are needed; commissioners discussed cardboard and pallet recycling and burning brush procedures but made no decisions.
Landfill Supervisor Jason Lower told Caribou County commissioners on March 11 that a posishell cover concept could extend the county landfill's useful life to about 75 years, but he emphasized that more information and permitting work are required before the county would invest in the process.
Lower also presented several recycling and operations topics for discussion: cardboard recycling (no decision made), wooden pallet recycling (no decision), and the procedure for burning brush at the landfill. He said he would contact the officials in charge of burning to get definitive guidance on whether and how brush burning could occur at the county landfill.
Commissioners did not approve funding or adopt specific recycling programs at the meeting; Lower's presentation was informational and staff will return with permitting details and recommendations if the posishell option proceeds.
