The Orange County Solid Waste Department consists of the following four divisions: • Landfill Services Division • Recycling Services Division Sanitation Services Division • Environmental Support Services Division The County's Solid Waste Enterprise Fund (Fund) accounts for revenues and expenses related to the provision of solid waste disposal and recycling activities for the residents of Orange County. The mission statement of the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund is as follows: Mission: To operate public facilities and services receiving and processing various types of inaterials including Municipal Solid Waste, Construction and Demolition Waste, vegetative debris, hazardous waste and recyclable materials in a high quality, reliable, regulatory compliant, cost-effective manner while ensuring the protection of the environment and the health and safety of all County residents. The Fund was previously funded by various fees, such as the basic fee, convenience center fee, urban and rural curbside fees, and multifamily fee, as well as other revenue streams. During the last fiscal year(FY 14-15), the Fund's expenditures exceeded revenues by approximately $4.7 million. Beginning in the tax year 2015, each improved property in Orange County was assessed an annual Solid Waste Programs Fee (SWPF) to fund recycling, waste management, and waste reduction services offered by the County. The fee is included on the annual property tax bill, and is levied by the Orange County Tax Office. This annual single fee for FY 15-16 is $107. SCS understands the fee is levied on each habitable residence, apartment, business or non-profit and funds all the County operated recycling programs as well as about one-third of convenience center costs. This fee is charged to all improved properties in all jurisdictions, including that part of the Town of Chapel Hill within Durham County. SCS understands that this fee is billed to approximately 61,000 parcels within the County. 4
