Appling County approves small increase to Ryland Environmental residential fee
Summary
The Appling County Board of Commissioners unanimously accepted Ryland Environmental Services’ request to raise the residential waste collection fee by $0.86 per cart per month, increasing the monthly charge from $17.11 to $17.97, citing higher fuel and landfill costs.
The Appling County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 10 unanimously approved a request from Ryland Environmental Services to raise residential waste collection fees by $0.86 per cart per month. County Manager Al Meadows introduced John Nail of Ryland, who said the company is seeking the increase because of higher fuel costs and rising landfill fees.
Nail described the change as an average increase of about $10 per cart per year and asked the board to accept the adjustment allowed under the existing contract, which the county manager said expires Dec. 31, 2025. Commissioner Theodore Wilkerson moved to accept the change; Commissioner Daryl Edwards seconded, and the board approved the request without objection.
The board’s minutes record that the increase will move the residential monthly charge from $17.11 to $17.97. The motion description in the minutes does not specify an effective date beyond the contract language presented by county staff. The board did not record a roll-call vote in the minutes; the action is listed as "unanimously approved."
