8/3/2019 Carlsbad CA Proposed Solid Waste Rates 2012 http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/carlsbad-ca-proposed-solid-waste-rates-2012 1/3 l Proposed new services The proposed increases to trash or "solid waste" rates are tied to a proposed new contract with the city's solid waste hauler, Waste Management. The new contract would include several new or enhanced services that require additional funding to implement and operate: u Fully automated collection - New trash trucks will have mechanical arms that lift, tip and empty containers placed curbside for collection. Since the new trucks use green technology, they will produce less pollution as they drive around the city. u Single stream recycling - Recycling is simplified to allow residents to place all approved recyclable materials in one large wheeled bin for curbside collection. No more sorting into separate crates. c Free rolling carts for trash/recycling/green waste - Waste Management will provide wheeled rolling-carts for trash, recycling and green waste. Carts will have affixed lids that will help keep neighborhoods clean by reducing litter being blown onto streets and help the environment by keeping trash out of gutters and storm drains. s Curbside bulky item/electronic waste collection - Bulky item collection will be more convenient by allowing residents to have free on-call collection of bulky-items and electronic waste up to three times a year. ,A-- (t.gp V crrY oF About trash rates and the proposed increases The current monthly trash rate for all single-family customers is $18.87. The proposed rate, as part of the new trash program, will vary depending on the size of the trash container selected by the customer. Residents may either select a 64 or 96 gallon trash container at a proposed rate of $19.90 per month (a 5.5o/o increase from the current rate), or a 35 gallon trash container at the proposed rate of $18.02 per month (a 4.5o/o decrease). Regardless of which size trash container is selected, residents will have a choice of 35,64 or 96 gallon recycling and green waste containers. The rate is only affected by the size of the trash container. The rates for multi-family and commercial customers will depend on the size of the bin, the type of material collected and the frequency of collection. The rates will increase from the current rates by 3.4o/o to 10.7o/o. Please see tables A1 and A2for the current and proposed rates. Adjustments to trash rates in future years will be made as part of the city's budget adoption each june. The city will not send out a separate notice so long as the increases do not exceed what is listed here: The "service rate" and the "occupancy rate" of the rate will increase by 90o/o of the Consumer Price lndex or "CPl" for All Urban Customers, San Diego All ltems, ranging from Oolo - 5olo. The "disposal rate" will increase based on the changes to the disposal fees at the Palomar Transfer Station. Please see table B for the proposed rates associated with each component. CARLSBAD
