Walton County BOC to vote on increase to solid waste disposal fees

WALTON COUNTY, GA (Feb. 6, 2023) At Tuesday’s Walton County Board of Commission meeting, commissioners are expected to vote on an increase to the county’s solid waste disposal fees. At the end of last year, the City of Monroe notified the county that city’s transfer station would be increasing its tipping fees effect Jan. 2 this year.

To offset the additional cost to the county for solid waste disposal, Walton County Public Works is subsequently proposing that the BOC increase the scale rates at the Walton County Recycling Center from $45 per ton to $65 per ton and the Greenbag fees from $1.50 per bag to $2 per bag.

The Walton County February BOC meeting will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023, at the Historic Walton County Courthouse at 111 S Broad St. in Monroe. The public is invited to attend.
