  • (Be as specific as you can, describing types of records, dates, parties to correspondence, subject matter, etc. The public body will make every reasonable effort to assist you in identifying the record being sought. Requests for voluminous records may be delayed.)

Oversized copies shall be an additional cost. Charges for copying records maintained in an electronic format will be calculated by the material costs involved in generating the copies (including but not limited to DVD, CD or other electronic storage costs) and administrative costs. Refer to the public body’s policy for information about costs and access to records. The contact person at the Delaware Solid Waste Authority is Pam Williamson, 302-739.5361.
