Council Gives Go-Ahead for Landfill Upgrades

The Sidney City Council Tuesday gave the green light to purchasing needed equipment for the Sidney Solid Waste Landfill.

The City of Sidney has a dilemma. Necessary equipment at the landfill needs replaced, and badly. The baler, 24 years old and was defined in August 2017 as obsolete. Furthermore, the company that manufactured the baler is no longer in business and the mechanic who maintained it has retired. To extend the life of the cell, the collection site, the facility needs a shredder. It is a situation of pay for it now, or pay later at likely a higher price tag.
