We have attempted to locate the nearest landfills to the City of Paris. Hours are based on Google
<br />Map which reflects speed limits and slowdowns along the way.
<br />Using the above information, we can develop some estimate figures for what it might cost the
<br />City operationally to use a different landfill. It is very important that when looking at operation,
<br />you have to consider 1) increase in operation cost separate and apart from the landfill dumping
<br />fee, but also 2) impact to physical operation and manpower. As we all know, the City of Paris -
<br />and most any trash hauling entity - struggles to find and keep staff. This tends to be one of the
<br />least desirable jobs for most people due to smell, weather conditions, physical requirements,
<br />compensation and hours. We have recently made some great changes to our operations that has
<br />allowed our staff the opportunity to get home sooner every day and the upcoming comparable
<br />pay study changes will help with the compensation. Prior to the recent changes in operational
<br />time, it was common for trash crews to work 10-12 hour days hauling trash. This is not only
<br />exhausting, but it has a significant quality of life impact. Bottom line, if our crews need to travel
<br />further each day to unload their trash, their days are going to get longer and we will start losing
<br />employees faster. To help illustrate some of this, we have created the following table of
<br />comparisons.
