§ 12-16. Rates for collection services; adjustments and amendments.

The rates for collection services provided on or after January 1, 2017 are set forth in subsections 12-16(a)—(f), and are subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below:

(a)

Residential class I customers (per dwelling unit)

$ 5.67 Collection

$ 5.20 Disposal

$ 4.62 Franchise fee

$ 15.49 Total

$ 0.43 Franchise fee

$ 2.80 Total

Residential class II customers (per eligible dwelling unit)

(3)

Total monthly cost (i.e., the sum of (a)(1) and (a)(2), above):

Residential class I customers = $ 18.29 per dwelling unit

Residential class II customers = $ 11.38 per dwelling unit

(4)

For residential customers, the rates for the collection of solid waste (garbage, yard waste, and bulky waste) include the collection component, the disposal component, and the franchise fee.

(5)

For residential customers, the disposal component of the rates for the collection of solid waste (garbage, yard waste, and bulky waste) is calculated by multiplying the applicable monthly waste generation factor by the tipping fee at the designated facility.

(6)

For residential customers, the monthly waste generation factors are: (i) 0.1210 tons per dwelling unit for class I customers; and (ii) 0.0420 tons per dwelling unit for class II customers.

(7)

If the residents of a multi-family dwelling use a mechanical container and they wish to receive collection service three (3) times each week for solid waste, the collection component of the rate for such service shall be one and one-half (1.5) times the rate that class I customers pay for collection service that is provided two (2) times per week. This will cause the total monthly cost shown in subsection 12-16(a)(3), above, for class I customers to be recalculated, and the revised total monthly cost will be multiplied by the number of dwelling units serviced by the mechanical container.

(8)

All monthly rates for collection services for solid waste and source separated recyclable materials from class I and class II customers are based upon the cost to both make these services available and the related provision of these services. Such rates are not based upon actual usage by any individual customer. Except as otherwise provided herein, the city's monthly rates prescribed in this subsection (a) are mandatory for all class I and class II customers, regardless of any refusal of the available services by customers.

(b)
