BACKGROUND Prior to the October 6, 2009 ordinance revision, no rate was set for small commercial recycling. This program had been in a trial basis since approximately 2000, with no charge to the 109 customers in the program. As of November 1 , 2009, there were 1 , 135 commercial accounts using 95 gallon carts or 2 yard containers, which make up the majority of the businesses who are likely to be able to participate in this program. There were 83 businesses on the waiting list to add the recycling service. In order for the program to be increased so that more businesses could participate, a rate was formally established. All recycling costs had been included within the residential rates, so residential customers were paying the costs of this commercial recycling program. Before the program could be offered to additional customers, this cross-customer subsidy needed to be corrected. The 2009 R. W. Beck Recycling Study identified the cost to be $5.88 per month, similar to residential recycling. Commercial customers who choose to participate in this program have reduced trash volume, creating a potential savings in their trash rate if they use a smaller trash container or have a reduced collection-up frequency. DISCUSSION This ordinance changes the rate for commercial recycling from $5.88 per bin, as established in October, 2009, to $5.88 per commercial customer for up to five bins. Table 50.40 (D) is replaced as shown below. This change is proposed based on input received from Council members, the public, and City staff. Commercial solid waste rates have not changed since 2000. Staff intends to perform a rate study in 2010 to evaluate all solid waste rates. Recycling User Fee Schedule Size Once Per Week 4 yd cardboard $32.76 6 yd cardboard $49. 14 8 yd cardboard $65 .52 4 yd paper $32.76 18 gal recycle bin (up to five bins) $5.88 BUDGETIMPACT As this rate change was not included within the budget, this rate ordinance will create a slight revenue increase over budgeted revenues due to the extension of the existing residential recycling rate to small commercial customers.
