Atchison County approves 2026 solid waste plan and sets tipping fees for waste and recycling
Summary
The Board approved the 2026 Solid Waste plan on April 14, establishing a $50.17 per-ton tipping fee for solid waste, a $103 per-ton fee for recycling, and a $50 construction-and-demolition fee; the plan also lists new members for the solid waste board.
Solid Waste Director Jody Goodpasture presented Atchison County’s 2026 Solid Waste plan to the county commissioners on April 14; the board approved the plan by a 3-0 vote.
The approved plan names new members (Mike Slattery, Jody Goodpasture and Kelley Royer) and sets the following fees listed in the plan: a tipping fee for solid waste of $50.17 per ton, a recycling tipping fee of $103 per ton, and a construction-and-demolition fee of $50. Goodpasture presented the plan for review and the commissioners voted to adopt it during the meeting.
The plan and fee schedule will affect residents and contractors who use county solid waste and recycling facilities; the minutes do not specify an effective date for the new fees. The board recessed into a scheduled budget workshop after the public meeting.
