County officials could dissolve local solid waste management districts – but still provide services – under a bill that passed the Indiana House on Tuesday.
The move creates an opening for the city of Fort Wayne and Allen County to re-evaluate local programs, though the bill’s author said that was not the purpose of filing the measure.
The legislation is a major overhaul of a system in place since 1990 requiring every Indiana county to operate or be part of a solid waste management district.
Back then, there was concern that landfills would soon be overflowing and districts were tasked with facilitating industrial, business and residential waste recycling.
