County solid waste assessment fees authorized

HB 3441 would increase the maximum county solid waste assessment fee from $1.00 to $1.50 per ton for trash disposal. This change applies to all counties and regional solid waste authorities in West Virginia, allowing them to charge this higher fee on solid waste disposal. Revenue collected must cover administrative costs, refuse cleanup, litter control programs, and other solid waste management expenses. The bill directly affects local waste management budgets and the cost of trash disposal for residents and businesses in affected counties.
