Franklin County commissioners this month agreed to extend the disposal contract between Franklin County and Waste Management.
The contract allows Waste Management to take local household trash to other counties for incineration.
The current contract is set to expire September 30th.
The contract has to be renewed every 5 years.
When the contract is approved it will increase the disposal rate the county pays Waste Management to $29 dollars a ton.
The current rate is $18.22 a ton.
The agreement will lead to higher tipping fees, which is the amount residents pay to dispose of trash at the landfill.
The amount of the increase has not yet been decided.
