Impact analysis
Raising tipping fees or charging out-of-county haulers more could generate new revenue, but nothing has been decided.
Could benefit county taxpayers and residents near the landfill if fees rise or roads near the landfill get repaired.
Higher tipping fees could eventually mean higher costs for haulers, which might pass through to residents' waste bills.
