County taking Allied to court

Source: Jamie Page, Pensacola News Journal (FL), January, 31, 2008

Escambia County plans to sue Allied Waste Services over what the county claims is the garbage hauler's $1.1 million unpaid debt.

Since mid-November, the county and Allied have been trying to come to an agreement on the county's claim that Allied owes money for commercial garbage tipping fees -- a per-ton charge for disposal of waste at the county-owned Perdido Landfill.
