 | | The fee is the greater of 50 cents per ton or, for compacted solid waste, 50 cents per cubic yard or, for uncompacted solid waste, 10 cents per cubic yard received for disposal at a landfill. |
 | | In other words, regardless of the form of the solid waste, the landfill operator could calculate the proper disposal fee either by the ton or by the cubic yard (with different rates set for compacted and uncompacted waste, depending on the form in which the waste was delivered). |
