4 CityRegion WEDNESDAY, June 10, 1992 AQ Leader-Telegram sL Death Notices River Falls rejects composting from River Falls, Ellsworth, Prescott and Spring Valley, its four largest communities, to guarantee that haulers they contract with take their garbage to the county facility. Prescott agreed in principle Monday evening to do so; Ellsworth and Spring Valley have not yet acted on the request. "What we're asking is that municipalities enter into a contract to send their waste," said George Petaja, representing the County Board's Solid Waste Committee. "Without it, the facility won't fly. We need everyone in Pierce County" According to county officials, the county can legally force cities to By Pat Berg Leader-Telegram correspondent RIVER FALLS The River Falls City Council Tuesday night let stand previous resolution not to send its garbage and recyclables to a proposed composting center the county wants to build next year.

River Falls is the county's largest city, generating about a third of the county's trash.

The city would pay about $55 per ton to use the county facility, plus another estimated $20 per ton in subsidies and hauling fees for the first five to eight years to cover landfilling the estimated 25 to 30 percent that cannot be composted. All cities, including River Falls, will have to help pay the subsidy, even if they don't use the facility. Environmental Composting Technologies, St. Paul, which would design, build and own the facility. The deal won't happen, however, Unless the county promises to send 8,000 tons of garbage and recyclables, about half the trash it generates annually, to the facility.

The county might decide to go "ahead without River Falls' trash, said county director of land management Jim Hulbert. But he said it would mean trying to reclaim about 5,000 tons of trash that is currently burned or buried illegally irr the countryside.
