Annual Reports

District Financial Data

The Boone County Solid Waste Management is funded through a combination of  revenue streams including a special assessment, a clean fill tipping fee and interest on investment.  Each of this revenue streams are not currently on the tax rolls.  The special assessment consists of a monthly fee of $0.40/month on residential accounts and $0.40/cubic yard on commercial accounts.  This fee is collected by the solid waste haulers offering business within the County.  A 10% rebate is provided back to the solid waste hauler to cover the administrative costs of collecting the additional fee on their bills.  The clean fill tipping fee consists of $0.50/ton charge when clean fill material is hauled to a final disposal site located within the County.
