the dump must have changed its pricing in the last 3 years. there used to be a minimum 1/2 ton charge, or something like that. and yes, the minimum fee is down to 12 bucks… but the cost per ton has gone up quadruple to ~146 bucks. used to be 28 and change for 1/2 ton.

i still think that a fee (like that paid when one purchases a tv or a computer) could be extended to all products that have disposable packaging… but, people hate big govt, at least rhetorically.

the peeps doing the dumping are avoiding the dump fees by doing it illegally… i still think the dump fees should be zero. i cannot recall off the top of my head, but there are some counties who are doing this to limit the illegal dumping. maybe low income dump vouchers is an alternative (still a bad idea in my mind)? we are already paying (via individuals and the bay district) to dispose of these illegal dump drop offs. last time i went to the dump, there was a minimum fee, something around 28 bucks. this is not cheap.

good idea abt the cameras, but that just adds to the cost of enforcement. if we do an end run and let peeps dumps for free, we might not need to catch anyone~~~

it is the source of the waste that is creating the landfill. all the plastic that wraps the food people buy. the cheap materials than are used to make furniture that wears out in 5-10 yrs. people are not going to buy less food (nor fewer couches) because the dump fees are high. that makes no sense to me. wonder who thought that up. fantasy world in my mind. i appreciate your thoughts melissa and randy!
