Water- tight containers would be required and disposal would be permitted only in exact locations designated by the attendant on duty, and commercial haulers would not be allowed to use the area on Sundays. A flat fee is now in effect for commercial users. The new schedule of fees would set a minimum fee of $75.00 for a resident collector on the basis of $50.00 plus $25 .00 for each truck, and a minimum of $125 for a non-resident V` operator on the basis of $100.00 plus $25.00 for each truck. Demolition contractors would require a special permit costing $25.00 and would be charged $10.00 a load. Resident sewage haulers would pay a fee of $50 plus $3.00 a load and non-residents- would pay $100.00 plus $3.00 a load. It was emphasized that only refuse collected in the town may be deposited at the landfill area. The term "non-resident" refers to a trucker who makes collections in the town but whose main place of business is else- where. These fees are in line with fees charged by surrounding areas.
