Liberty County, located on the Atlantic coast just south of Savannah, is home to more than 68,000 people distributed within its seven incorporated cities and the county's unincorporated area. The County owns and operates a transfer station for waste disposal and a county-wide network of seven convenience centers for refuse and recycling. The County provides commercial refuse and cardboard collection as well as contract polycart curbside collection for the City of Flemington. MSW Consultants has served as the County's solid waste financial advisor for over fifteen years. MSW developed the County's integrated rate structure via a combination of user fees, tip fees, and a solid waste assessment. MSW Consultants periodically updates the County with rate adjustments and financial guidance related to the County. The integrated rate structure has helped the County pay down over two million dollars of debt while assuring a consistent and predictable revenue stream to manage the solid waste system. MSW Consultants has recommended slight rate increases to improve solid waste infrastructure, bolster vehicle replacement plans, implement the use of solid waste assessment for various citizen groups depending on location and service levels and periodically adjusting to ensure revenue sufficiency.
