Marion County, Ore., is suing its transfer station operator for allegedly overcharging residents for compost recycling.
Statesman Journal reports that the lawsuit is centered around a 10-year contract that charges Capitol Recycling and Disposal with operating the Salem-Keizer Transfer Station. According to the report, “the contract sets a rate for hauling yard waste from the facility, obligates the county to reimburse the company for the tipping fee to dispose of it and names three companies where the waste can be taken.”
