closeCHAPEL HILL -- The town managers of Chapel Hill and Carrboro have written to Orange County with cost analyses they want considered in the search for a trash transfer station site.
The Orange County Board of Commissioners initially decided to put the transfer station at the county landfill, which is filling up and will close in a few years.
But area residents' complaints prompted the board to reopen the search late last year.
More Chapel Hill
The trash station will be a site where garbage trucks dump trash that will be gathered and shipped out of the county.
The county commissioners will meet tonight at 7:30 at the Southern Human Services Center, 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill, to talk about the search. They are scheduled to adopt the site criteria that will guide the search process.
