RUMFORD After eight years without an increase, the solid waste assessment is going up, according to Stacy Carter, the new administrator for the Northern Oxford Regional Solid Waste Board.
At its annual meeting on Dec. 15, the board approved a 6 percent assessment increase in 2021 for the member towns of Byron, Dixfield, Mexico, Peru, Roxbury and Rumford. Carter said the assessment is going to up $50,100 to $885,100.
He said the solid waste budget is $1,083,203, an increase of around $3,000.
“The increase on the assessment is 6 percent, and that’s because of loss of revenue. (The increase is) needed to bridge the gap between the assessment and what the actual budget is because there’s not enough revenue,” said Carter.
