Board adopts advertised landfill fee schedule after public hearing

The board opened a public hearing on proposed changes to the county landfill fee schedule and invited comment from residents and contractors. Speakers asked procedural and practical questions about tire disposal charges and whether the proposed commercial tonnage rates would be prorated for small numbers of tires or individual customers.

After the hearing the board closed public comment and adopted the advertised fee schedule for the Nottoway County Landfill. During the discussion board members acknowledged operational concerns raised by residents — for example, whether small numbers of tires would effectively be charged by the ton — and directed staff to clarify implementation details as needed. "So this is a commercial situation...someone brings in a load of tires," one board member said during the discussion about prorating.
