Brown County Courthouse
(KNZA)--It will cost more to dispose of trash at the Brown County landfill, beginning May 1st.
The Brown County Commission Monday approved a rate increase as presented by Landfill Director Don Pounds.
The rates to dispose of trash at the landfill will increase 25 percent. The new rate for in-county trash will be $ 75 a ton, while the new rate for out-of-county trash will be $86 a ton.
The rates for the disposal of construction and demolition material will increase 30 percent. The new rate for in-county C & D material will be $36.50 a ton, while the new rate for out-of county C & D material will be $41 a ton.
Commissioners say the rate adjustment is necessary due to continued increases in operational costs.
The last rate increase took effect December 1st of last year.
The landfill is funded through user fees and not subsidized by tax dollars.
