SNOW HILL – The Worcester County Commissioners agreed this week to adjustments to tipping fees.
The commissioners voted 6-1 on Tuesday to increase the county’s solid waste tipping fee from $75 a ton to $80 a ton. Public Works Director Dallas Baker said the change was meant to streamline operations.
“The haulers are interested in trying to get in and out of the landfill as quickly as possible,” Baker said. “We’re trying to accommodate that request.”
Baker presented the proposed change at a public hearing hosted by the commissioners this week. While no one commented on the amendment to the solid waste operating budget, Baker explained the reasoning behind it.
He said that while the rate was currently $75 a ton, there were varying rates for different materials. There was a rate for refuse as well as other rates for construction materials. Staff have to verify how much of a load is refuse and how much is another material when they charge haulers.
If they really wanted to speed things up, it would be free.
