Beltrami County eyes buying Waste Management facilities

BEMIDJI—A plan for Beltrami County to purchase two transfer stations received optimistic support Tuesday from the Board of Commissioners.

During a work session before its regular meeting, commissioners received a full report from Solid Waste Manager Brian Olson, who said buying two facilities from Waste Management is a better option than constructing new buildings at other sites.

In the past year, county officials have circulated the idea of constructing new transfer stations along either Carr Lake Road or Adams Avenue. According to Olson, though, the purchasing plan is a more cost-effective option for the county.
