What are Facility Fees used for?
Solid Waste fees fund landfill operations, trash disposal, composting, recycling operations, other disposal programs and services, and future landfill cell construction. According to a thorough financial analysis conducted in 2022 by an outside consultant specializing in solid waste management financing, without an increase in revenue, the Solid Waste Fund was projected to be in deficit in 2025 and depleted in 2026. With small fee increases and sound management, the County Landfill is anticipated to serve Prince William County's solid waste disposal needs until approximately 2060.
