Landfill Fees to Increase

BOONE, Iowa---Boone County Supervisors adopted the proposed Landfill Budget for the 2012 Fiscal Year during their meeting Wednesday. The fees will increase by a dollar per ton in the next fiscal year, a decision that was actually addressed a year ago. Landfill Administrator Scott Smith reported that the fee structure will need to be re-examined carefully in the future to make sure the cost of newly implemented landfill rules can be covered. Total revenue in the next fiscal year will exceed $2.1 million.
