  3. Strengths: • County has a permitted contained landfill • County has a transfer station with scales – scales aid in charge to citizen, hauler, or as a check form tonnage sent to contained landfill • Lower disposal fees if: county hosts/owns a contained landfill or has a contract with a landfill • County provides free disposal for bulky items on an on-going basis or on specific dates; i.e. once per month, once per quarter, fall and/or spring cleanups, litter cleanups, etc. • County will assist landowners with tipping fee for those who eliminate illegal open dumps • All waste collected in the county must be delivered to county facility • Several landfills are in vicinity, competitive, and have capacity • A CD&D landfill is available (either privately or county owned – can be greater than or less than one acre Construction, Demolition and Debris) • Invoke KRS 68.178, if desired, for any non-county owned solid waste management facilities • Weaknesses: • County has no transfer station • No provision has been made to collect large bulky items • Solid waste ordinance is dated and inadequate • County has no control over the destination of the waste collected • Landfills in the vicinity have little capacity • County does not own/host a CD&D landfill
