PERRYVILLE, MO. — The Perry County Solid Waste Board is announcing an adjustment to service rates at the Perry County Transfer Station, effective January 1, 2026. The rate changes were made necessary after the Board opened bids for waste hauling and disposal services on November 13 and saw significant cost increases in both areas.
Beginning in 2026, the following rates will apply:
- $71 per ton for all solid waste
- A flat rate of $15 for all loads weighing 250 pounds or less
- Non Perry County residents will pay $112 per ton fee with a $50 minimum charge.
These adjustments were unanimously approved by the Perry County Solid Waste Board after careful review of operational costs and future budget needs.
To ensure the most cost-effective long-term solution for Perry County customers, the Board conducted a competitive bidding process for waste hauling and disposal services.
As a result, Perry County has entered into new three-year contracts with Rollet Bros. Trucking for waste hauling and Waste Management of Illinois for waste disposal.
“The Board remains committed to providing reliable, safe, and environmentally responsible solid waste services,” the statement reads. “These rate changes reflect the increasing costs associated with transporting and disposing of waste while ensuring the Transfer Station continues to operate efficiently for the residents of Perry County.”
