Analysis
Beginning in April 2010, the department of public works intends to charge for depositing construction waste at city area sanitation yards. Under the ordinance implementing various provisions for the 2010 city budget, construction waste charges range from $10 to $20, depending on the type of vehicle used for transporting the waste. This ordinance modifies these charges and establishes a standard charge of $15 per load and limits the size of a construction waste load to more than 8 cubic yards. This ordinance also clarifies the definition of construction waste.
