Alternatives for Wakulla County management of Blue Crab processing solid waste
1988
Andree, Scott
Based on a report by the Wakulla County Solid Waste Director (Appendix II),approximately 17% of the solid waste entering the county landfill each year iscomprised of processing wastes from the counties' 13 blue crab processing plants.Eleven of these plants were being serviced by Tri-county Refuse of Apalachicolafor $12.50/4 cubic yard container/pick-up. The other two plants were bringingtheir wastes to the landfill themselves in barrels.Overall, blue crab processing wastes require special handling during dailylandfill operations to reduce odors, mainly additional soil coverage. Also, dueto normal crab plant operations crab scrap waste is generally delivered to thelandfill late in the day making handling difficult before landfill closing time.As a result of these handling problems, blue crab processing wastes are presentlycosting an estimated 25% of the landfill operating budget per month during peakproduction months, April - November.
