Submitted by kferral on 02/21/2012 - 23:49Orange County commissioners killed a proposal Tuesday night to put new transfer station in the county and set a date to close its current landfill in 2013.
After hearing comments from about 15 people and in front of a packed meeting room, commissioners unanimously voted down a proposal by Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton to build a transfer station on the northwest corner of the Interstate 40/N.C. 86 intersection.
Chilton proposed the site earlier this year as a way to save money and keep from having to truck garbage to a Durham transfer station.
