<br />According to the most recent “Solid Waste and Materials Management Annual Report” for the
<br />period July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011, submitted to the NCDENR, the Town reported
<br />annual collections cost of $2,663,219 to manage a total of 17,169 tons of MSW and yard waste.
<br />This equates to $155.12 per collected ton.
<br />2.3 SOLID WASTE REVENUE
<br />2.3.1 General Program Revenue
<br />In July 2008, the state of North Carolina initiated a $2 per ton annual disposal tax assessed to
<br />landfills throughout the state, based on scale receipts. A portion of these fees collected is
<br />distributed back to local government on a per capita basis to support their waste management
<br />programs. According to the Town’s budget, this state contribution is estimated $20,000 per year.
<br />In recent years state contributed general revenue has been notably higher. In FY 2011-12,
<br />$39,213.27 was received. In FY 2010-11, the amount received from the state was $38,487.64.
<br />2.3.2 Residential Collections and Disposal
<br />Currently the Town does not assess a separate fee or tax on its citizens for residential sold waste
<br />collections and disposal. Some program revenue is generated through the Town’s Special Trash
<br />Collections (i.e., bulky waste, white goods, and bulk yard waste), projected $8,000 per year.
<br />Collection of bulky waste and white goods incurs a $15 minimum fee for up to three (3) items
<br />and $5 for each additional item. Secondly, the Town provides for rental of yard debris
<br />dumpsters to its citizens. Rental fees are assessed at $20 per weekday and $25 per weekend.
<br />Additional residential revenue is collected from the sale of yard waste roll-carts. The sales price
<br />of the roll-cart is $47. The actual unit purchase cost, currently $62.10 per cart, and fluctuates
<br />with each Town purchase. Based on historical records, yard waste roll-cart sales contribute
<br />approximately $3,000 towards annual revenues.
