The city's Waste Services Director was in front of the city council Tuesday updating members about the Municipal Solid Waste fee recently added to building permits. The fee used to be paid after work was finished. “We recognized that we had some issues properly collecting it in the process,” said Lawrence Mikolajczyk. Many roofers who don't use city landfills are upset with the change. “We have been in business for 40 years here, we have never, ever been charged this fee at all,” contractor Mike Robinson told the council. “We have been writing contracts for two months now, and all of a sudden we're getting this fee.” Moving the fee was first discussed last October, but many accused the city of taking advantage of Harvey victims. Mayor Joe McComb says that's not the case.
