A rate study next summer on fees for the Reno County landfill is among nearly $490,000 in otherwise ongoing annual contracts for the landfill the Reno County Commission approved on Tuesday with a Wichita engineering firm.
The $33,000 study, in part, will explore whether the county should begin charging tipping fees to users instead of just a flat annual fee the county now assesses on property tax bills.
“We think the landfill is in a healthy financial state,” said Monte Markley, vice president and project director with SCS Engineers. “This is to go in a more overall positive direction how the county may want to administer and conduct billing. Is it a more equitable way to bill county residents if you’re a single, elderly person not using much trash?”
