30 years ago – December 21, 1984
December 31 is the last day the Black Hawk trash compactor site will be open, the Gilpin County commissioners announced Monday. It will close at 11:00a.m. After that date, people from the south end of the county will have to take their trash to either the Colorado Sierra site or the one in Rollinsville.
Letter to the Editor: Upon hearing about the decision to close down the trash compactor collection site in the south end of the county, I feel it is necessary to comment on such an unjust act. Such an important decision should not have been made by the lame duck commissioners. Secondly, closing that site so near many businesses and a concentrated population makes no sense at all. Thirdly, I feel all the taxpayers in the county deserve fair treatment and equal services for their tax dollar. Therefore, I would hope the new board of commissioners will reverse that decision and show all county taxpayers that they will be treated equally. Sincerely, Bill Giller.
