The agency's bonding cap has been raised from $500,000 to $60 million, while the legislature has set guidelines for the future of waste diversion in the county.
"All of the projects that we want to pursue related to diversion can be accomplished with that $60 million over the next five years,"
said Executive Director Marc Rider.
