Waste transfer site closings are being considered because they were recommended in a consultants report that cost tens of thousands of dollars to prepare. Did the consultants consider the costs to Lane County of retrieving the inevitable tons of garbage and debris that will be dumped illegally along roadsides and in ravines due to the closings? If not, the consultants report should be returned with the request for a no-cost re-evaluation of net cost benefits to closing waste transfer sites. Omission of illegal dumping costs would be a major oversight that should cause decision-makers pause.
