REQUEST FROM THE COVENANT HOUSE OF STATESVILLE, A 501-3
ORGANIZATION, FOR WASTE DISPOSAL EXEMPTIONS: County Manager
Mashburn said that at the last meeting, the Covenant House Executive Director requested
a solid waste tipping fee waiver. Mashburn said the landfill operated as an enterprise
fund, and a household availability fee had been collected from county residents since the
early 1990s. He said through the years, several nonprofit agencies (Fifth Street
Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Salvation Army, Mooresville Christian Missions, &
Yokefellow) had been granted fee waivers. Mashburn said the NC Department of
Transportation, the NC Wildlife Resources Office, and the departments of Iredell County
had also been exempted. He recommended that the same guidelines used for other
nonprofits be applied to the Covenant House request. Mashburn said that if the waste
material were something that would have already been covered under the household
availability fee (listed on tax bills) then disposal at the landfill could occur at no charge.
He said people cleaned out their closets, donated items to the nonprofits (Salvation
Army, etc.), and then later, the nonprofits sifted through the items and anything that
couldn't be used was disposed of at the landfill with the tipping fee being waived. He
said that as long as the item would have been included under the availability fee,
regardless of what agency brought it in, then the fee should be waived.
