Director Fauteux
Yes it is.
Mr. Richardson So the clock is ticking and that’s a cost.
Paula Johnson 15 Westborn Drive. Question on the landfill. How come and I’ve thought about questioning
this | think for years. How much does it cost to get a sticker to go into a landfill?
Director Fauteux
For residents?
Ms. Johnson $5.00. | don’t like to raise anything but there’s 12 months in a year why wouldn’t you just
charge everybody $12.00 to help cover the costs another way. | don’t like to raise anything and how many
people sneak into the landfill that don’t belong that take a sticker from somebody else?
Director Fauteux
While that may happen | think we are doing a pretty good job of preventing that from happening. We do
have two scale operators now and they have been very diligent in watching.
Ms. Johnson And all your trucks that are the green deal trucks and when their lifetime is gone, what do we
do with those trucks?
Director Fauteux
We either take them as back line trucks or we trade them.
Ms. Johnson You trade them? And what are we getting for trade on them?
Director Fauteux
It all depends Mrs. Johnson on what type of truck it is and how long we have had it, its condition, that
varies.
Ms. Johnson What about the trash trucks? How many have we turned over lately, how many have we sold
at auction?
Director Fauteux
| don’t think we’ve sold any at auction recently but we can bring the Superintendent up to speak to that.
Jeff LaFleur, Superintendent of Solid Waste
Currently everything that we have purchased in the past 3 to 4 years we have them on backline trucks right
now. We are saving them so we can use them when other trucks go down.
Ms. Johnson OK and how about older trucks? Dump trucks and all those trucks, what is happening with
them? Have we kept them all, are they done with, that they rotted away the under carriages?
Mr. LaFleur
We currently saved a bunch of them in the back. We were taking parts off of them and anything that was
unusable or rusted out we sold as scrap metal.
