Prout and Harare Teel there would be many complications following any close out of the Darlington site. Firstly, the regular users of the Darlington Site would have to travel quite a distance if the site closed. Harare states that not one cent is put forth by the privately owned dump. Hamre feels there is a need for improvement at the disposal area and adds "the road is a crumpled mess; the trucks run at all hours including including 5 a.m. There could also be a problem of litter," she said. Regional Reclaimers is expected expected to apply to the Town 'of Newcastle to have their disposal area expanded by rezoning and also to fix the road conditions. Harare says that the region may not save money. If all . these improvements are going to be made, then the prices of the privately owned dump will have to rise. The dump ' now charges less than the .region does for Waste disposal at their sites. Hamre then continues into saying that if you try and get them to upgrade the dump, the rate won't be cheaper. Prout points out that there have already been complaints from residents based on the operation of the private dump and if more business continues to that area there will be more problems and also...more complaints. As a result, the Regional Councillors have requbsted that the region open negotiations negotiations as to the possible use of the privately owned disposal area in the Town of Newcastle. Newcastle.
