New tipping fee on construction waste approved for Reno County landfill
Starting in January, residents hauling construction or demolition waste to the Reno County landfill will have to begin paying a minimum $10 per trip fee.
The Reno County Commission approved the new tipping fee on Tuesday. The board also OK'd a hike in an annual assessment on commercial and industrial businesses.
Both are to support anticipated increased costs for operating the landfill in the future.
The new fee on construction and demolition waste -- or C&D -- will be $10 per ton, with a minimum of $10 per load.
The fee does not apply to the disposal of brush, household trash, metal debris such as appliances, or tires.
