Fee Statute News Today

Arkansas state legislators amended the waste fee statute in 2011, which cannot be imposed on residences or businesses subject to the Service Fee. Rather, it applies to a generator, transporter or disposal facility for any solid waste generated within the district or brought into the district for disposal. However, things can get complicated when waste generated in District A is disposed of in District B.

FAYETTEVILLE -- The Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld a lower court ruling Wednesday the Benton County Regional Solid Waste Management District must share revenue from solid waste fees with the Boston Mountain Solid Waste District.
