As of March 1st, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management closed the Cherokee landfill. Until then, Colbert County and other entities had used the landfill for dumping household garbage. Costs per ton for disposal rose from $10.00 to $25.00 at the Franklin County facility now being used.
According to a highly knowledgeable source, this Plan B will no longer be feasible after May 4th, per an ADEM vote. Where will Colbert County and other Shoals entities send their trash?
Most importantly to the average citizen, how much will this plan C affect monthly bills? Will the normal monthly waste removal bill reach $50.00 or $60.00?
For those Colbert residents on a very fixed income, how will they be able to pay this increase? With other inflation driven increases in monthly expenses, the average citizen will not be happy about this current situation.

Hopefully they will just the landfill down. The smell is horrible. It will have to affect the land values, cause who will want to smell the dump all the time.
