RESOLUTION INTRODUCED BY THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE AUTHORIZING THE REVISION OF SECTION 620.1 OF THE SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES TO TAKE EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1ST, 2026
WHEREAS, the Sullivan County Solid Waste Management Rules (hereinafter the Rules) were adopted by the County Legislature in accordance with Section 171-24 of the Sullivan County Code; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Solid Waste Management Rules be modified as per the attachment titled “Solid Waste Fees as of October 1st, 2026”
