Department of Transportation (FDOT) pays for 5%.

Resolution revising the Solid Waste Tipping Fee for Fiscal Years 2023,  
2024, and 2025.  
Approval of the Solid Waste Rate Resolution for Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 through FY25,  
adopting revised fees for disposal of approved solid waste at the Solid Waste Disposal  
Facilities.  
Recommendation:  
* Recommendation stems from the Long-Range Solid Waste Rate Study, conducted by  
a third-party professional firm and presented to the Board of County Commissioners on  
April 21, 2022.  
* The Department of Solid Waste (DSW) recommends adopting a three-year rate  
increase to allow planned budgeting and operations.  
* Tipping fees are currently $44.70 per ton and recommended to increase by 6.8% each  
year for the next three years (equates to an incremental $3.05 per ton in FY23, $3.25  
per ton in FY24, and $3.50 per ton in FY25).  
* Increasing tipping fees will contribute to long-term fiscal sustainability of DSW  
operations as detailed in the Solid Waste Master Plan.  
* Tipping fees are currently lower than all adjacent counties and municipalities that  
operate a waste-to-energy facility.
