Veterans lay in wait for Solid Waste Discount

A resolution came before the commission, “establishing a reserve account in the Solid Waste Fund to accept private donations from individuals wanting to help pay half of the residential solid waste fee of disabled veterans and widows of disabled veterans who qualify for property tax relief.”

According to the Lewis County Trustee’s Office, there are currently 41 disabled veterans and 10 widows of disabled veterans on our Property Tax Relief Program. In order to cover half of their residential solid waste fee, it would be a total of $2,550 that would need to be raised by October 1, 2021.
