BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: In 2008 ADEM directed solid waste landfills to collect and furnish to ADEM a $1.00 per ton fee that will provide funding for, among other things, scrap tire and illegal dump remediation as well as litter cleanup. Currently, the Solid Waste Disposal Authority’s Litter Patrol Program collects tires and other waste materials from roadsides in Baldwin County, funded by the solid waste fund. Associated revenues will act as offset of costs associated with the Litter Patrol Program. The current agreement with ADEM expires September 30, 2024.
