Solid waste director warns disposal-fee account could be exhausted before year-end
Summary
The county’s solid waste director told supervisors that rising tonnage and a new contract require watching the disposal-fee line; he said the current line item could be depleted before the fiscal year ends and asked for level funding of maintenance and equipment.
Solid Waste Director (speaker) told the board that disposal-fee line items and repairs are at risk of being exhausted if current tonnage patterns continue. He said the transfer station has averaged about 2,500 tons a month in recent months and that the department’s disposal expense line could be depleted before the fiscal year ends.
The director asked that the board consider level funding for repairs and maintenance and warned that a depleted disposal-fee line would require the department to return to the board for supplemental appropriations. He also described operational details—including container repairs and the potential for new recycling revenue streams—and flagged an upcoming hazardous-waste collection event that typically costs $6,000–$10,000 to run.
