Currently, county residents purchase a card for $100 that allows for annual usage at collection centers. This year, citizens will be able to purchase a six-month card for $50. No firm commitment has been made concerning when the waste management Request for Proposals will be issued, but it&#39;s expected before the year&#39;s end.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When did the Commissioners decide this?
