ONEIDA COUNTY - You could be paying more tipping fees in Oneida County for recycling in the near future if Scott Walker moves forward with his budget proposal on recycling.
Walker proposed to spend $15 million for recycling programs in his two-year budget, a drop from more than $32 million in 2010 and 2011.
The Oneida County Solid Waste Department averaged about 900 tons of recyclables last year. The department could struggle with cost if the proposal gets passed. They could also see fewer recyclables coming in because tipping fee increases could stop people from recycling.
