hannock’s trash is $38.60 or $6.27 less than disposing of a ton of solid waste at a county landfill.

“I do think it’s a feasible idea,” Mr. Joyce said. But it hinges on whether Rappahannock can find another county or a private landfill operator willing to take its solid waste “at a reasonable cost," he stressed, adding that the supervisors must consider capital expenditure as well as long term expenses associated with either option.

“I haven’t changed my mind,” stated Newbill Miller after the engineer’s presentation. “I’d like to see us pursue this.”

At least to the point of beginning negotiations with interested parties, added Charles Estes. “In fairness to the people of Rappahannock County, we should go that far.”

The board voted unanimously for the engineer to proceed, directing him to report back at the January meeting. Mr. Miller asked that administrative assistant John McCarthy be kept apprised in the interim. “And he can keep us apprised,” added the Hampton District representative whose district includes the proposed in-county dump site.
