Klickitat County Commissioners have done an addendum with Republic Services to allow the company to take up to 150,000 tons of trash to the Cowlitz County Landfill if necessary.  It’s a move being made in an attempt to retain a contract for the Roosevelt landfill to continue to receive Skagit County’s waste.  Klickitat County Commissioner Dan Christopher says Republic currently doesn’t have an emergency truck source to haul trash to Roosevelt when rail service is disrupted.  He added they are looking to increase the landfill’s revenue streams.  Christopher says they are trying to reduce the turnaround time for the trains coming into the Roosevelt landfill to the point where they can double the volume being taken in.  In addition, there will be some consumer price index adjustments to the transfer stations.
