Rates for solid waste services are proposed to increase to ensure adequate revenues are available to deliver high quality services to the community. Many solid waste aspects are increasing in cost including: collection, recycling processing, disposal at landfills and other facilities, equipment, fuel charges, public outreach, and State mandated solid waste diversion programs including organics recycling. In addition, sales of recyclable materials generate revenue to reduce rates and avoid cost and impacts of disposal at landfills. However, recent changes to international policies restricting imports of recyclable materials and declining global market value for recyclables have resulted in a significant decline in the sale value of recyclable materials.
