Waste company scales back transfer station plan
Republic Waste Services of Texas has scaled back plans for a solid-waste transfer station near Aledo that many nearby residents oppose.
Company officials said this week that they are amending the permit application that they must submit to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
"The Brazos Transfer Station development team took note of the comments made by members of the public over the past several months," said Nicholas Stefkovich, Republic’s area president. http://www.star-telegram.com/local/story/1561269.html

The Rutabaga: Second Street becomes waste transfer station
Neighborhood development chief Jim Tolbert announced today that the section of Second Street SE beside the abandoned Landmark Hotel has become an RSWA-sponsored waste transfer station. The site, which is being called the Landmark Materials Transfer Facility, has actually been accepting construction and demolition debris, as well as careless source unseparated recyclables such as coffee cups and cigarette butts, since the Downtown Mall re-bricking project was completed earlier this year. Tolbert says the program has been a success so far.http://www.readthehook.com/blog/index.php/2009/08/28/therutabaga-second-street-becomes-waste-transfer-station/

Crookston not cleaning up on trash collection, garbage bag sales
Crookston officials say the city is losing money on its garbage pick-up service and residents could likely lose a citywide cleanup week because of it.
“We have two a year, the last full week of April and of October,” said Pat Kelly, public works director. “Both are relatively well used.”
The amount of garbage hauled to the Polk County Transfer Station from Crookston has gone down every year since 2003. City clerk/treasurer Betty Arvidson said the city is also losing revenue from the sale of garbage bags used for curbside pick-up.http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/131460/
