Bill overview
This bill directs the Public Service Commission (PSC) in West Virginia to study and establish maximum rates for solid waste collection and transportation fees in counties bordering the state. The PSC will conduct a survey of fees in these counties and set an annual maximum rate that carriers can charge, subject to providing customers with one billing cycle’s notice before any rate increase. This aims to standardize and potentially regulate trash hauling rates in border counties.
Key provisions
- The Public Service Commission will survey solid waste collection fees in West Virginia border counties.
- The PSC will establish an annual maximum rate for solid waste collection and transportation in those counties.

- Carriers must provide customers with at least one billing cycle’s notice before increasing rates.

- The commission will study the feasibility of basing fees on the volume of solid waste generated.
