Audit of Landfill Operations - August 2019

Management Response County residents occasionally bring solid waste to the landfill and are surprised to find they must pay a disposal fee. While many do provide payment, some cannot and rather than turn them away, the Division Manager established the 750 Account (Courtesy Program) allowing disposal fees to be charged to the Solid Waste Collection District rather than the resident on a limited basis. However, upon review by the Department, the 750 Account is only used by a handful of county residents each year except during the cleanup activities following Hurricane Irma. The small number of users does not justify the necessary tracking procedures and supporting documentation needed to continue use of the 750 Account and it will be discontinued at the end of FY2019. 10 | A u d i t o f L a n d f i l l O p e r a t i o n s A u g u s t 2 0 1 9
