County disposal changes loom from proposed waste bill
Aiken County lawmakers discuss a House bill known as the Business Freedom to Choose Act that would block counties from enacting own waste rules and force disposal to stay within state landfills. Local officials fear private haulers could undercut Three Rivers Landfill tipping fees, threaten contracts, and reduce public oversight. Senators weigh amendments to address county concerns and protect local trash disposal.
