SUPERIOR — The city has some of the least-expensive rates for garbage and recycling services in the region, according to a study by NewGen Strategies and Solutions.
ADVERTISEMENTHow much that will change when the landfill closes remains undecided, but Superior's Finance Committee launched the discussion Tuesday, Jan. 27, to determine what happens after the landfill closes for good.
The committee also recommended the 2026 landfill budget that will lock in current rates for garbage and recycling until 2027.
“The landfill is nearing capacity,” said Seth Cunningham of NewGen Strategies and Solutions.
With the end of the WLSSD contract, most of the revenue generated by the landfill goes away, said Darienne McNamara, the city’s regulatory and landfill manager.
