The hearing, required by state law on the choosing of a vendor for a garbage project, is set for 2 p.m. in the second-floor courtroom of the county Hall of Records, Main and Court streets, Freehold. The hearing is part of the process of state approval for the facility.

The Reclamation Center is on the boundary of Tinton Falls, Colts Neck Township and Wall Township. In March, the county and National Ecology Company of Timonium, signed a contract for the company to design, build and operate the facility, which is expected to handle up to 1,700 tons of garbage a day, six days a week. Construction is expected to begin about July 1, with a target date for completion of December 1996 or about the same time the current phase of the landfill is expected to run out of space and a new phase is slated to open. Once the facility is operational, all garbage taken to the center will be unloaded in the three-story facility, where recyclables improperly dumped in the waste stream will be removed. Garbage, then, will be compacted and baled before being dumped in the landfill.

Currently, most garbage is dumped directly in the landfill. The county would pay National Ecology $3,678,700 per year to handle about 310,000 tons of household waste and 93,000 tons of bulk waste. The facility would cost $23,437,000 as now planned, but the price could go as high as $25,250,000 to accommodate adjustments and escalating prices.
