From what I could find out at DEP's records it looks like about a half
million dollars a month has been paid on average in tipping fees to the
Leon County Landfill. I don't know how that has changed since the
transfer station opened, and I don't know the operating costs, but I
plan to get records on all that too. It looked to me like there was no
charges for leaving stuff in the recycling bins. This would discourage
the landfill operators from encouraging recycling.

This photo above was taken before they closed the Class I section. See
the row of pole things on the left, they are "gas well" vent pipes
along the roadway.
There are twenty or more of these
gas well vent pipes strung out along the landfill emitting stinky
methane and other dangerous emmissions. Technology exists to clean
these emissions but our county doesn't feel it worth the initial
installment cost, even though some of the money eventually could be
recouped by selling the methane gas.

It looks like a fire in
the background of this "Hot Load Area" sign, I think that fire was
beyond the landfill's perimenter, but it reminds me that you are
advised not to light a match or any spark of any kind out there because
of the methane. It could be in concentrations great enough to spark an
explosion at any time, and has done so in the past, when an employee
was using a weedeater.

This new excavation has been dug out on prime Apalachee Parkway
frontage land for more trash burial. We thought this land was buffer
land that would be used for our promised park and then we found out it
was being dug out for Class III trash... It
must be 10 to 30 acres and its right across the street from our houses.
We sure feel betrayed to be threatened with this close encounter of a
stinkin garbage heap after all the extra years of patience we've
maintained waiting for our Park Reward.
