Fee Collection
• Transfer facility collects fee on solid waste going to the landfill
• Transfer facility does not collect fee on C&DD, the landfill collects the fee
• If mix solid waste and C&DD to make a load…
– Created a bigger load of solid waste
– No fees applied to the C&DD portion?
– Transfer facility needs to make up the difference
