Summary
Provide comprehensive landfill rate study to ensure that the county's solid waste system remains financially sustainable, operationally resilient, and aligned with long-term environmental and community goals. As landfill operations become increasingly complex, it is essential that the county base its fees on a clear understanding of true operating and lifecycle costs. This study will provide that foundation; primary objective of the study is to develop a full cost-of-service analysis that identifies the actual resources required to operate, maintain, and plan for the future of the landfill. This includes current operating costs, capital projects, equipment replacement needs, and state-mandated closure and post-closure obligations. Understanding these costs will allow the county to determine the revenue required to maintain safe, compliant, and reliable service over both the short and long-term. See attached file.
