Dump Site Change Upsets Residents

Kootenai County cut the ribbon on a new rural solid waste collection site near Rathdrum on Monday, but not everyone is happy about it. The new facility was built to consolidate two collection sites located on property the county did not own: the Garwood and Twin Lakes collection sites. ... The new site near the intersection of Chilco Road and Ramsey Road will open 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, and be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week. The Garwood and Twin Lakes sites will permanently close at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Mayer said. ... Garwood resident Don Bradway isn't happy about the move. He said his neighbors aren't happy either. "We've been using this site for decades and now they just decide to move it five to six miles up the road," he said. "It's not as accessible for us"/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.

Question: How often do you visit the dump in a year?
