TheExistfig Situation Currently there are l7municipal landfill sites in the county. Although estimates vary with regard to the remaining capacities of the sites, Table 4A' outlines the estimates -which have been established for the purposes off this study. Expressed is a different way this information in- dicates- that n-dicates°that within 20 years all residents in the county will have the landfillsite-that they use currently filled to capacity. Estimates of -Waste Quantities Because lamdfill sites do not have weigh scales it is difficult to determine the amount of waste generated. However, it is estimated that about 42;000 tonnes of waste wasAlisposed of in Huron County in 1988. An increased amount of garbage can be expected over time. The total quanity of waste which must be managed over the 20 year planning period for :which this study is being prepared (1991 to 2010) is estimated to be -880,000 tonnes.
