NORWAY The Select Board on Thursday agreed to fee increases for the Norway-Paris Solid Waste agency.
The increases will be charged to residents who leave recyclables at the transfer station on Brown Street.
Nancy Lee Piper of NPSW attended Thursday’s board meeting to discuss the rate increases. She said the current fees for freon and tires only cover 77% of the cost to recycle the materials. She said the fee increases still keep costs lower than recycling in neighboring communities.
“We’re trying to be fair to to the contractors and the builders,” Piper said.
For example, items with freon, such as refrigerators, dehumidifiers and air conditioners will increase from $10 to $12. The fee to recycle tires will increase by $1. Most other items will see a $1 or $2 increase.
