| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the solid waste office of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. Describes an analysis of the full cost of the yard trimmings recycling services provided by the County, with results including "extreme variability in per household cost" and clear differences between urban, suburban, village, and rural communities. Provides a range of processing costs and a "defensible basis for cost-driven user fees". States that "the analysis also pointed out several areas where opportunities exist for increasing efficiencies, improving equity and expanding fee-based services". A brief history of yard waste facilities in Lehigh County is given. Suggests "several options for changing funding mechanisms from the current administrative fee structure", including implementing a "pure" user fee or introducing a modified user fee based on the size and type of municipality. |
