• Ending the Countywide Unified Sanitation District Proposal
As reported by Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn:
• What’s happening:
  • The Board of Supervisors concurred with county staff’s recommendation to formally end their proposal to create a countywide Unified Sanitation District.
  • This plan would have instituted county-managed trash collection for all single-family homes across Fairfax County.
  • Yesterday’s action resulted from a motion Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn introduced last August directing staff to get more input from HOA representatives and private trash companies, evaluate the pros and cons of the district concept, and deliver additional options for the Board to consider. Following this evaluation, staff concluded the idea remained unpopular with many residents and alternative options wouldn’t achieve the same benefits. This led to their recommendation to end the proposal.
  • However, Hunter Mill Supervisor Walter Alcorn has heard from many residents about their concerns with the current, mainly private trash collection system. Most concerns are from “retail customers” who procure service directly from trash haulers, and complaints range from widely varying costs to multiple trash trucks from different companies traveling through neighborhoods. Some residents do want a more coordinated trash collection system in their area like a Unified Sanitation District. And in time improvements on the collection side can and will be considered. But the immediate issue facing the Board is a fiscal crunch on non-collection county solid waste operations as county revenues from solid waste tipping fees (fees paid mostly by haulers to dispose of trash at the I-66 Transfer Station or the I-95 Energy Resource Recovery facility) do not cover the cost for the county to operate the transfer station and other operational costs.
• Tell me more:
  • Last year staff came forward with the Unified Sanitation District proposal to address both solid waste collection concerns and the coming fiscal crunch on our post-collection, county-operated system.
  • Under this now-ended proposal, single-family homes, including townhouses, would have received county-managed trash and recycling services (although the county would have contracted for collection with private haulers). Under state law, a five-year waiting period would have been required before the county could implement a Unified Sanitation District. This countdown would have been initiated by a legally required public hearing by the Board of Supervisors. Originally scheduled for June 24, this public hearing was deferred until Oct. 19. It was then indefinitely postponed while county staff conducted further evaluation as directed by a motion at the Board last year.
• Financial challenges exposed:
  • Our current trash disposal system faces serious financial shortfalls that were exposed (see this presentation).
  • Under questioning by Board members, county staff laid bare the challenges during yesterday’s committee meeting. Effectively, we have been using the proceeds from the sale of the I-95 facility in 2016 to keep tipping fees low — which is an example of a bad fiscal policy of using one-time funds to subsize ongoing operations. When this fund runs out, and if no other changes are made, we will face an annual $14 million deficit starting in FY 2028.
  • To close this deficit, county staff yesterday proposed to impose an annual “sustainability fee” on residents. It would average $59 per household starting in 2028, increasing over time. (This county fee would be separate from what your trash company charges you for their service.)
  • As board members made clear, this fee is a non-starter. While there may be future investments we need to make in recycling, composting, and other waste reductions strategies, for now we need to operate our existing system more cost efficiently and make some hard decisions about our county solid waste disposal infrastructure. Our waste disposal system is intended to be self-sustaining based these tipping fees without relying on county general fund dollars, but there are market and even potential legal limits on how high those can go.
• Next steps:
  Board members asked county staff for more information about the cost to operate our current disposal system, options for reducing costs and/or improving efficiency, and how partnerships with other jurisdictions as they address their solid waste needs could help.
