Summary
Warren County's 50-cent-per-ton generation fee is the second lowest in Ohio and hasn't covered the solid waste district's roughly $400,000 annual operating costs — a gap filled by soon-to-be-exhausted settlement money. Residents could pay roughly $4 more per year if the fee rises to $3.50 per ton.

Impact analysis
Average household would pay about $4 more per year; fee revenue would rise from about $100,000 to $600,000-$700,000 annually.
Residents get sustained recycling, roadside cleanup, and tire and hazardous waste disposal services funded by users rather than depleted settlement money.
Waste-hauling customers pay a pass-through fee, though the per-household impact is small.
