THE LANDFILL COMMITTEE OF THE CARTER COUNTY COMMISSION IS TOYING WITH THE IDEA OF INCREASING THE TIPPING FEE FOR HOUSEHOLD WASTE  AS A MEANS TO HELP BALANCE THE BUDGET.  THIS PROPOSAL WOULD INCREASE THE FEE UP TO $45. THIS IS THE ONLY PUBLIC LANDFILL THAT RELIES SOLELY ON TIPPING FEES AND DOES NOT RECEIVE COUNTY TAX REVENUE. THE IDEA IS EXPECTED TO UNDERGO FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE BEING FINALIZED.
