The bill SB 294 has been updated to allow Bath County to impose a solid waste disposal fee, similar to other specified counties in Virginia. This fee can only cover the actual costs associated with managing and maintaining the landfill, which ensures that the money collected is used responsibly for solid waste services. The change is important because it provides Bath County with the authority to manage its waste disposal costs more effectively, helping to maintain environmental standards and budget integrity.
