(Cleveland)- White County has announced new fees for its solid waste disposal facilities. Beginning today, (July 1), the county has implemented the new fees at the Transfer Station, located in the Industrial Park south of Cleveland, and at the Convenience Center on Hulsey Road.
The new fees for the Transfer Station will be a $6.00 minimum fee with a $15 disposal fee for mattresses. At the Convenience Center, the new bag disposal fee will be $6.00 for 1-6 bags with a dollar charged for each additional bag.
The county took over the entire solid waste disposal operation in the county on January 2 of this year after contracting out the service for many years and after the contractor at that time indicated they would be increasing their fee for operation. The new fees announced are minimal but county officials say are needed to help fund the operations at the two facilities.
