Board approves reduced tipping fee for certain sole proprietors at Scott County transfer station
Summary
The Scott County Board adopted an amendment to the Solid Waste Control Ordinance to allow local sole proprietors who collect back household trash to pay a reduced tipping fee of $40 at the county transfer station.
The board held a public hearing on an amendment to Scott County’s Solid Waste Control Ordinance (Article 5) to add a new section permitting Scott County sole proprietors who collect back household trash to pay a reduced tipping fee of $40 at the county transfer station.
Staff presented the ordinance language and the board opened the floor for public comment; no public opposition was recorded. A motion to adopt the amendment was made, seconded, and adopted by voice vote.
The amendment directs county solid-waste operations to accept the reduced tipping fee for qualifying sole proprietors and instructs staff to update transfer-station procedures accordingly. The amendment was passed as a local ordinance change; the transcript does not record the ordinance number or an effective date. Staff will incorporate the change into operational procedures and the county’s solid‑waste strategic planning work.
