Dear Mr. Frawley
This letter will cover the pointe we discussed at your office on
October 19 regarding solid waste for the city of Bangor.
1. City rubbish trucks, commercial rubbish trucks with closed
bodies and others operating 1} ton trucks with closed bodies will
be permitted to use our landfill facility.
2. Each load will be weighed on our scales. Printed weight
slips on each load will indicate date, weight of load, license
plate of vehicle. All slips will be turned in to city end of
each month.
3. Tires, white goods, junk cars, brush and building debris
would not be permitted at our landfill. Septage or treatment
waste not allowed.
4. Landfill would be closed Sundays and legal holidays.
5. Due to uncertainty of city's future solid waste plans
we are agreeable to a one year contract.
6. Landfill cost to city to be $6.00 per ton.
7. If city elects to have a compactor -container at a Site
of its selection we will lease this equipment to city. It appears
one load per day seven days a week will look after waste generated
by this method. If volume estimate is correct.cost to city including
lease of equipment, transportation to landfill seven tripe per
week and landfill will total $46,712.00 per year. This coat may
increase or decrease depending on volume. We must have a three
year commitment from city on leasing this equipment. City to be
responsible for site preparation, electricity to compactor and
attendant at compactor. We have container -compactor equipment
available for your inspection if desired, Availability of equip-
ment is 30 days or Sooner. If city decides to landfill this portion
of its solid waste instead of compactor -container concept city

should be realistic in its cost, I do not believe city can carry
out this phase at less coat than compactor -container system. Me
$6.G0 per ton we have quoted city to landfill is much less than
national average. By including container -compactor system together
with all of the solid waste generated by city the cost is $6.87 per
ton which is a low cost.
We look Yoward to being of service to the city in solving its solid
waste problems. If I can be of further assistance please let me
know.
Yours truly
