The Board of Selectmen of Nantucket, Mass., has voted to increase the tonnage fee for disposal of construction and demolition debris at the town landfill by $45 to cover the costs of shipping the material to an off-island facility, according to a report in the Island and Mirror (Nantucket, Mass.).
The 16 percent increase raised disposal costs for haulers from $281 per ton to $326 per ton. On July 1, a state law imposed by the Department of Environmental Protection will prohibit the disposal of C&D debris at Massachusetts landfills, except for approved processing centers.
