The system has functioned as an enterprise <br /> fund for recycling and landfill services but used general fund monies to operate the Sanitation <br /> Division. The general fund pays for operation of the solid waste convenience centers and waste <br /> collection from those centers, County government buildings and the Orange County Schools, but <br /> the funds to pay for MSW collection from the schools are now fully recovered through a fee-for- <br /> service arrangement. The Board of Commissioners has agreed to fully incorporate the Sanitation <br /> Division into the enterprise fund beginning July 1, 2010, with the general fund being billed on a <br /> monthly basis for SWCC operations. Three-R(3-R)Fee revenues will begin to finance some <br /> recyclable material hauling costs previously funded by the general fund for materials such as <br /> clean wood, scrap tires, scrap metal, yard waste, and white goods beginning in 2010-11. The <br /> financial integration of the Sanitation Division into the enterprise fund will continue to be refined <br /> 34 <br />
