RESOLUTION TO SUPPORT CONTINUATION OF EXISTING SCRAP TIRE ADVANCE
DISPOSAL FEE AND TO REMOVE THE SUNSET PROVISION THAT WILL REDUCE THE FEE
FROM 2% TO 1% EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 2002
WHEREAS, the 2%Advance Disposal Fee is the central component of the North Carolina State
Scrap Tire Program;
WHEREAS, this is one of the few areas in recycling and in promotion of solid waste reduction
where the state of North Carolina has actively demonstrated leadership and vision; and
WHEREAS, the program has been highly effective here in Orange County and throughout the
state;
WHEREAS, the fee has previously been 1% and was found to be inadequate to fund the essential
programs related to managing scrap tires;
WHEREAS, the fee supports abatement of nuisance fire collection sites and has been utilized here
in Orange County for that very purpose;
WHEREAS, the fee supports and encourages scrap tire recycling activities; and
WHEREAS, the fee directly contributes to the significant reduction in illegal dumping of scrap tires
across the state by providing and fully funding a program that efficiently and effectively manages
this waste material.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Orange County Commissioners that the
Board fully supports the continuation of the 2% advance disposal fee and urges the legislature to
make the existing Scrap Tire Disposal Program permanent.
This, the 4th day of June, 2002.
