CALDWELL, ID — On April 2, 2024, the Canyon County Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution 24.041, authorizing increases in fees at the Pickles Butte Sanitary Landfill. These new fees will take effect starting October 1, 2024.

These adjustments to landfill fees, aim to address operational expenses, capital improvements, and future sustainability across the County. These fee changes also represent the first substantial adjustments made in more than two decades.

The updated fee structure includes several key changes that customers should be aware of:

• Increase in daily minimum fee from $5 to $10
• Adjustment of municipal solid waste rate from $14.50 to $18.50 per ton
• Increase in construction and demolition waste fee from $34 to $38 per ton
• Introduction of new categories such as green waste, clean wood, clean sheetrock, industrial waste, and tire shreds, reflecting evolving waste management needs
• Streamlining of fee structures for simplicity and clarity, including the removal of out-of-county waste fees
• Adjustment of miscellaneous fees, gate late fees, and credit card processing fees to better reflect operational costs

After careful analysis, the Board of County Commissioners determined that an increase in fees is necessary to cover the increasing costs of services provided by the landfill. Evaluation of these fees are set to cover the costs of services ensuring long- term suitability and efficiency within the Canyon County’s solid waste management system. Capital Improvements, including the addition of a gas collection system and methane flare station, hardscape improvements, additional staff to assist with weekend traffic, as well as contracts for handling hazardous waste will ensure that the quality and service expected by residents in Canyon County will continue for many years to come.
