What they accept: aluminum cans, batteries, scrap metal, in Gadsden and Sylacauga, will allow BFI to cut its labor costs in half because the new trucks require only one worker instead of trft two or three now needed, said BFI District Manager Brian Wintjen. It also will cut down on injury-related costs to the company because workers no longer will have to lift garbage onto the truck. But the real savings to the company will be in the reduced time it will take to collect garbage with the new system, he said.

Now it takes workers five days to collect garbage throughout the city. Under the new system, it will take four. Under the new contract, BFI will pick up garbage in Anniston up on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Residents who now have their garbage picked up Wednesdays will be assigned a new day; company and city officials are still working out times for the pickup routes. BFI will begin delivering the trash cans to residents Monday; the new trucks will be running Oct.

Proposals include creating drop-off sites for recyclables throughout the city and starting a city-run curbside program that would allow willing residents to subscribe for recycling. "But right now, we're just kind of brainstorming," Johnson said. In the meantime, the city's new contract with BFI will go into feet.

BFI officials have decided to start picking up garbage with trucks that have automated arms a change they say is needed to combat increasing dumping fees at area landfills. On Oct. 1, for example, dumping fees at the county's transfer station increased from $35 per ton to $41 per ton, and from $25 per ton to $33.20 per ton at the landfill in St. Clair County both used by BFI. The city picks up about 8,100 tons of in Anniston per year.

The recycling program, however, kept 600 tons of that out of the total garbage amount picked up in the city. Because the automated trucks do not have the capability of sorting recyclables, BFI would have had to continue operating the recycling trucks at extra cost to the city. The automated trucks, also used accepted. Schools, church groups and organizations such as Boy Scouts get two extra cents per pound for alumlhum cans.

Last year, BFI charged the city $7.23 per household for garbage pickup. Under the new program, BFI is charging the city $6.91 per household, he said. City officials, however, are charging residents $7 per month not $6.91 per month because they have to cover the costs of garbage collection for residents who can't afford or won't pay the monthly fees, Johnson said.

"What the city is trying to do is keep the garbage fee stable," he said. "People don't want the garbage fee to change every year." A fl 9 9 9 30 DISCOUNT DM CASH PURCHASE Wintjen said. Not all residents will receive their new trash cans next week because BFI plans to phase in garbage routes one at a time. By Nov. 1 the entire system will be in place.

By going to the automated system, BFJ officials argue they will offset costs at the landfill. Gadsden has operated automated garbage trucks since the late 1980s, said Gadsden Public Works Director Brian Stovall. Initially, the start-up of the program was more costly to the city, but over time the trucks have cut down on labor cpsts and made garbage collection more efficient. Stovall, however, did not have figures for how much the system has saved the city and residents there.

Will Anniston residents eventually see BFI's savings passed onto them? "Well, that's a good question," Councilman Hans Gray said. Over time, Johnson said, he thinks the reduced landfill costs to BFI will result in savings to residents.

An 88-year-old Apache Junction woman who suffered more than 1,000 bee stings was upgraded Saturday to fair condition. "It's surprising," said Mike Farber, spokesman for the Apache Junction Fire Department. "For someone her age, she's lucky to be alive." The doctor who treated Mary Williams said she even had swallowed some bees during the attack about 10 a.m.

Friday. Williams, who declined requests for an interview, was swarmed when she disturbed a beehive measuring 8 feet by 13 feet in an abandoned house on her property. Authorities should know by Tuesday whether the bees were European honeybees, or the more aggressive Africanized, or "killer," bees. Judging from the emergency response time, Farber said, Williams was stung continuously for about five minutes. Rescuers used a fire hose to spray the bees off Williams before airlifting her to Valley Lutheran Hospital in Mesa.

Dr. Bob Laney, who treated Williams, said that virtually every exposed inch of her skin was stung. "There were literally hundreds of multiple stings on her face, her arms, on her legs, on her lips and in her tongue," Laney said. "At one point, she was vomit-! ing, and there were bees in her vomit." A nurse using a plastic card worked two hours to scrap the stingers out of Williams' skin. As with Williams, a toxic reaction to bee stings often causes nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, Laney said.
