Cuyahoga County Solid Waste Management Plan Update (December 2018) Chapter 6: Budget <br />CHAPTER 6: BUDGET <br />A. Overview of the District's Budget <br />The Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District is self-funded primarily through its "generation fee". The <br />District will continue to use this funding mechanism throughout the planning period. The fee is levied on <br />each ton of solid waste generated within Cuyahoga County and disposed in a landfill located in Ohio. <br />The District's generation fee is $1.50 per ton and is among the lowest in the State of Ohio where the <br />average generation fee is $4.50 per ton. The District has not raised its fee since 2007 when it was <br />increased from the original fee of $1.00 per ton ratified in 1995. Since its inception, the District has <br />strived to impose the lowest fee possible while still funding all plan elements. Figure 6-1 shows historic <br />generation fee revenue from 2012 through 2016. Revenues typically fluctuate but are declining over <br />time due to population loss and increasing recycling. Additional revenue from grants, compost bins sales <br />and other sources is also shown. <br />6-1 <br />060 <br />
