It costs a lot of money to operate the Camrose Sanitary Landfill. What is the money used for?
The money is used for all the daily operations of the landfill. Some of these costs include:- Big, expensive machines are used to move the garbage, cover the garbage, and compress the garbage.
- All the garbage that comes into the landfill area must be weighed.
- The operators (people who work at the landfill) must be paid.
- Closing Expenses: Some money must be saved to close the landfill. Once the landfill closes, the entire area will be made so that it can be safely used for future city developments (such as future parks). The area will be covered with black soil. Grass, trees, and shrubs may be planted.
Where does the money come from to operate the Camrose Sanitary Landfill?
None of the money to operate the sanitary landfill comes from people's taxes. The money comes from the people who use the landfill.Each time a person takes waste to the landfill, the waste is weighed.
All vehicles that bring waste materials to the landfill area are weighed twice. They are weighed when they enter the landfill area. They are weighed again before they leave the landfill area. The amount of waste that has been left at the landfill is then calculated.
