Mistake Costs Wicomico County $87,000

The Wicomico County Council wants to know why a commercial hauler got a 50 percent price break at the county landfill resulting in a loss over $87-thousand.

Assistant Director of Administration Weston Young asked for a waiver on the uncollected tipping fees from the hauler and for a way so that it would not happen again.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the council did consider a price break for the construction and demolition waste but never took final action.

The paper reports that the regular price is $60 a ton while the reduced price was $30 a ton.
