Landfill and Transfer Station Fee Increase
Summary
Commercial waste fees are going up $2 across the board — the first increase since 2023/2024. It keeps the county's rates well below neighboring competitors while shrinking next year's projected $1 million waste-fund deficit back to about $400–500K. Your household bag rates stay the same.
