The current tipping fee of $95.56/ton for the disposal of all waste types will be decreased to $94.50/ton. Due to on-going litigation related to the award of the MCMUA's transfer station operations and disposal contract, the MCMUA maintained the 2015 tipping fee at the 2014 rate for the first half of 2015.
Reconstructed skeleton of the titanosaur Argentinosaurus huinculensis, often considered the largest known dinosaur. Size has been one of the most interesting aspects of dinosaur science to the general public and to scientists.
Image caption Spinosaurus is thought to be the largest known carnivore and would have feasted on huge fish and sharks. A giant fossil, unearthed in the Sahara desert, has given scientists an unprecedented look at the largest-known carnivorous dinosaur: Spinosaurus. The 95-million-year-old remains confirm a long-held theory: that this is the first-known swimming dinosaur. Scientists say the beast had flat, paddle-like feet and nostrils on top of its crocodilian head that would allow it to submerge with ease. The research is published in the journal Science.
