County conducts public works business

RITZVILLE – The Adams County Solid Waste Division will call for bids on new solid waste trailers to haul garbage from transfer stations.

Public Works Director Todd O’Brien met with county board of commissioners recently to explain the current trailers, which were purchased used from Spokane County, have reached the end of their useable life.

Dlivery for new trailers would be “210 to 240 days out,” he said. “The new trailers won’t arrive until around July 2022.”

Once new trailers are in service, the old trailers will be taken to a metal recycler and sold for scrap, he said.
