Putnam County keeps solid-waste assessment and user fees flat for next year

Putnam County staff recommended and the board approved a resolution to keep solid-waste assessment and user fees at the same rates as the prior fiscal year, citing operational efficiencies that offset Waste Pro cost escalations. "We were able to work on our side, and take advantage of some operational efficiencies that allowed us to remain — to allow the fees to remain constant at what they were last year," the presenter said during the public hearing.
