(KMZA)--Rates will be going up at the Nemaha County Landfill.

On the recommendation of county Solid Waste Supervisor Adam Kuckelman, the Nemaha County Commission at their June 2 meeting approved increasing the current trash rate from $85 to $95 a ton and current C & D rate from $50 to $60 a ton.

Kuckelman said the rate increase is needed because Waste Management is increasing its prices to bring trash to their facility and due to the cost of the future expansion of the C & D pit.

The rate increase will take effect on June 16.

In other business, new handicap accessible doors will be installed at the Pioneer Building and the Community Building to achieve ADA compliance.

The Commission approved an estimate from Ackerman Lock and Key, of Marysville, and HEMI Electric, of Seneca, in the amount of $23,324 for the installation of five handicap accessible doors.

Funding will come from the Capital Outlay Fund.
