Council approves modest changes to sanitation roll‑off and landfill fees

Staff recommended amendments to the city's sanitation fee schedule under Resolution 26‑45 to reflect recent rate increases charged to the city by the regional solid waste authority and to harmonize customer fees. Among the changes staff recommended were a reduction of the roll‑off disposal fee from $225 to $200, an increase in the landfill dumping fee from $36 to $40 per ton, harmonizing second roll‑cart fees between residential and commercial customers, and limiting the $5 daily dumpster rental fee so it is charged only after 14 days of service.

Staff told the council these adjustments were small cleanup changes to make rates consistent and to offset costs imposed by the regional landfill authority. Council moved and approved the resolution by voice vote.
