ICABARR SCO NTYI <br /> RORIR CAROLINA <br /> <br />May 27, 1993 <br /> <br />Mrs. Carolyn Carpenter, Chairman <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />P.O. Box 707 <br />Concord, North Carolina 28026-0707 <br /> <br />Dear Mrs. Carpenter: <br /> <br />Meeting in official session on May 20, 1993, the Cabarrus County <br />Board of Health voted to reco~L~nd a change in the landfill <br />tipping fees charged to municipalities. The current tipping fee <br />is $28.00 per ton for residential and co~ercial solid waste. <br /> <br />The City of Kannapolis has a residential yard waste program which <br />reduced the residential waste stream from Kannapolis by 12.2% <br />during the current fiscal year. Since the reduced waste stream <br />saves the county valuable landfill space, the City of Kannapolis <br />has requested a reduced tipping fee rate of 12.2% for FY 93- <br />94(see attached letter from the City of Kannapolis). The reduced <br />rate for Kannapolis residential refuse would be $24.58. <br /> <br />The Board of Health considered the request in light of the fact <br />that Kannapolis is the only municipality using our landfill which <br />has a residential yard waste recycling program(all other <br />recycling programs in Kannapolis, Harrisburg, and Mt. Pleasant <br />are funded entirely by the county). Accordingly, the Board voted <br />to recommend that the tipping fee for the City of Kannapolis be <br />$24.58 for FY 93-94. Harrisburg and Mt. Pleasant would be given <br />the same consideration if these towns begin to recycle solid <br />waste other than aluminum, glass, plastics, and newspapers. <br /> <br />Thank you for your consideration of this recou~L~endation. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />C. H. Smith, Jr., O.D. <br />Chairman, Cabarrus County Board of Health <br /> <br /> Cabarrus County I~ublic Health Department <br /> <br />P.O. Box 1149 · 715 Cabarrus Avenue West · Concord, NC 28026-1149 · (704) 786-8121 <br /> <br /> <br />
