What is the General Fund (GF) “subsidy” to the Solid Waste Fund?
Although the SWF is intended to be self-supporting, it has long been partially subsidized by the Township General Fund. The subsidy (contribution of GF funds to the SWF) is estimated at $1.4M for 2009. Without full cost recovery from the users of the solid waste collection services, the subsidy is projected to grow in 2010 and beyond.
