Kent County hauler fee collection at Ottawa landfills
Ottawa County
Summary
The county approved rules letting its two landfills collect Kent County's $1.68-per-ton fee, but only on Kent-originated waste, with notice before any fee increase. Ottawa's own $1-per-ton fee still applies on top, and residents will see roughly 10 cents a month passed through hauler bills.

Impact analysis
Ottawa residents will see roughly $0.10 per month passed through on hauler bills for the county's $1/ton fee, plus the Kent fee on Kent-origin waste.
The county preserves landfill revenue and jurisdictional control while coordinating with Kent.
Households pay slightly higher hauler bills; waste-flow changes could affect landfill revenue if Kent fees rise sharply.
