Recycling director proposes ordinance to charge disposal fee for waste tires
Summary
At the April 20 briefing, Recycling Director Rose Gainey proposed an ordinance to establish a waste tire policy that would create a per-tire disposal fee to offset county disposal costs, and council reviewed sample policies from Greenville and Anderson Counties.
At the April 20 Chesterfield County Council briefing, Recycling Director Rose Gainey presented a proposed ordinance to establish a county waste tire policy. Gainey said the policy’s purpose would be to set a disposal fee per tire to offset disposal costs the county has incurred handling large volumes of waste tires. Council members reviewed sample policies from Greenville and Anderson Counties as comparators.
Gainey framed the proposal as cost recovery for county disposal services; the briefing record does not show a formal motion, fee amount, or a timetable for readings. Council did not take action on the ordinance at the briefing and no vote was recorded in the transcript.
If adopted, the ordinance would create a new, ongoing revenue mechanism tied to tire disposal; the briefing did not include proposed fee levels, implementation details, or an estimate of annual revenue.
