Impact analysis
Could reshape what residents pay for landfill and solid waste services, though details aren't yet on the table.
If structured well, all county taxpayers who currently subsidize landfill operations could benefit from a clearer cost picture.
Residents and haulers disposing of mobile homes, large tires, and commercial electronics will pay more.

Board of Commissioners - May 20, 2026
The landfill needs major equipment (a compactor runs about $1 million), and staff proposed fee hikes for mobile homes, undocumented large tires, commercial electronics, and contaminated loads, noting the county's $85 solid waste availability fee hasn't changed in eleven years.
