>>”the county makes a profit off of what the company can sell”
Seems extraordinarily unlikely. They may make some revenue, but I highly doubt there’s any profit if a true cost accounting is done.
Composting appears to be a profit maker. There is a large demand for composted dirt/soil, and there is a limit of 3 large container and one medium size container, re the # of Brown garbage cans we can have for free as customers. It used to be 1 can per week. Professional Yard people can bring in as many trailers per week as they want to the compostable center.
We are allowed two large blue cans for the standard recycle products at no charge. The limit used to be one per week.
The non compostable and recycling garbage is expensive. A small can costs $25/month.
