In 1989, the Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority (Authority) and Oneida and Herkimer Counties entered into a solid waste management agreement, under which the Authority agreed to manage all solid waste within the counties. The Authority collected "tipping fees" to cover its operating and maintenance costs, but these fees were significantly higher than typical open-market fees. In addition to landfill transportation and solid waste disposal, the fees enabled the Authority to provide recycling of 33 kinds of materials, as well as composting, household hazardous waste disposal, and a number of other services.
