Pitt County approves three-year contract to haul C&D waste; tipping fee to rise
Summary
The commissioners authorized the chair to execute a three-year hauling contract with Trio Legacy for transporting C&D waste to the landfill, increasing the per-ton tipping fee that had been in place for five years.
The Pitt County Board of Commissioners approved a three-year contract for hauling construction-and-demolition waste to the local C&D landfill and authorized the chair to execute the agreement.
The county's presenter said Trio Legacy had hauled C&D waste for the past five years and that the proposed contract would run three years beginning Nov. 1, 2025. The presenter noted the tipping fee that had been $9.50 for five years will increase to $12.25 in year one, $13.25 in year two and $14.25 in year three; any loads under 16.5 tons will be charged at a 16.5-ton minimum.
Staff said they negotiated with other haulers but reached the proposed numbers with Trio Legacy and characterized the deal as a reasonable outcome after negotiation. The board approved a motion authorizing the chair to execute the contract; the transcript records the motion and that it passed though no roll-call vote tally was included in the public record.
Why it matters: The contract sets the county's hauling terms and the tipping fee schedule that will be paid by the county or local haulers for the next three years, affecting county waste budgets and service costs.
What comes next: Chair to execute the contract and staff to monitor implementation under the approved terms.
