Council Postpones Vote on Trash Contract
The City Council on Friday postponed its vote on renewing a five-year contract to dump trash at the Sunshine Canyon Landfill above Granada Hills.
The council has until the end of the month to decide the issue and is looking at alternatives that involve taking some or all the city’s trash to two distant landfills, at a cost increase of between about $4 million and $30 million each year.
Also on Friday, the council voted to embrace a policy of eventually using high-tech trash-to-energy plants to get rid of the city’s trash.
