Looking at ways to cut household expenses? Do you have access to the Green County Landfill? Want to preserve our environment through recycling whenever possible? Need a facility that takes waste oil, a place that properly disposes of antifreeze items, e-waste, compost and wood?
The Green County Landfill is the answer to these questions. The landfill is an environmentally-minded facility that does recycling at no additional costs. Items dropped off are sorted into designated recycling areas. The staff at the location is highly trained in the proper disposal of items, without harm to the environment.
The cost to take your trash and recyclable items to the Green County Landfill is a fraction of the cost Veolia may be charging you.
Here are a few comparisons for charges from Veolia compared to the much lower charge at the landfill:
Per appliance, Veolia charges $45 compared to Green County Landfill's $20; mattresses and couches, Veolia $10 to $15, the Green County Landfill $5; carpeting, Veolia at $199 per ton, the Green County Landfill at $45 per ton; auto batteries, Veolia $10, the Green County Landfill free; and bulk rates with Veolia are $186 per ton compared to Green County Landfill at $45 per ton. This is only a small list of what your savings could be. (These costs taken off the Internet.)
Did you realize that Veolia has its transfer station in the city limits of Monroe, with a creek alongside, and restaurants next door? And did you know that Veolia is for sale?
At a time when folks are looking at ways to cut down on household expenses, taking your trash and recyclables to the Green County Landfill is one way to save hundreds of dollars a year, along with knowing that items are recycled and proper environmentally safe disposal is assured.
