  5. Solid Waste Service Delivery • The Agreements that we have in place with all Towns and the City run through 2028. • County owns the Recycling Facility and Contracts with a Vendor to run the facility. • County manages a landfill disposal contract, using the Speedway Landfill.

  6. Solid Waste Service Delivery • County self operates the Foxhole Landfill, four full service drop enters and numerous unstaffed drop centers; only accepts C&D Materials. • County self hauls and contracts for solid waste collection

  7. Solid Waste Delivery Upcoming Changes • Our disposal contract with Speedway Landfill expires in 2020. • Our management contract with ReCommunity (Recycling) expires in 2019. • Our Hauling Contract expires in 2018 • The County is studying the process of determining best methods forward to ensure adequate long term capacity needs for all through the 2028 period.

  8. Solid Waste Financial Concerns • The Recycling Commodity Market Crash has caused a loss of nearly $3M in annual revenues from recyclables sold. • Other costs continue to rise, such as repair of machinery and contractual commitments. • TV’s alone will account for a $600,000 annual cost expenditure in FY 2017.

  9. Solid Waste Funding • Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Disposal and Yard waste Fees Fee are covered in a fee ordinance • Recycling – No Charge • Funded by tipping fees, commodity revenue and user/availability fees.

  10. Solid Waste Funding • Household Residential Solid Waste Disposal Fee • In FY 17 the County proposed a stepped approach of increasing fee by $3.50 per year through FY 20. • FY 17: $20.50 per household • FY 18: $24 per household (proposed) • This is needed for future Capital Projects and replenish existing Reserve Funds
