Solid Waste Fees
A Solid Waste Fee is assessed on each Residence in the County. The standard Solid Waste Fee is $74.00/year. Half of this rate is for the purpose of maintaining Solid Waste & Recycling Convenience Sites across the county.
County Residences with contracts with private companies for garbage pickup AND Residences assessed with Municipal Taxes (and receiving Municipal garbage collection) qualify for a reduced solid waste fee of $37.00/year. This other half of the fee isfor the purpose of maintaining the County Landfill.
Some private waste haulers provide the County with a list of customers each January which is used to determine which non-town residences qualify for the reduced rate. If you are charged with the full fee, but should receive the reduced rate, you may request to have half of the fee released from your bill, but you must provide proof that you were receiving garbage pickup as of 1 January of that year. The time period to request a release is limited, so requests should be made as soon as the bill is received.
