Re: 2023 Refuse Rate Adjustment
Mr. Tompkins,
Burrtec Waste Industries is respectfully requesting the 2023/2024 Annual Adjustment for Refuse Collection Rates as per Article 4.3 of the Amended and Restated Agreement for Solid Waste and Recyclables Collection, Processing, Disposal and Street Sweeping Services.
Attached, please find the complete rate schedule and worksheets for this year's adjustment. The overall percentage change in CPI for the January to December period immediately preceding the July 1, 2023 effective date of this rate adjustment is 8.7%. As per the Agreement, the percentage change in CPI cannot exceed the 5% maximum annual adjustment as it pertains to the Service Component of the collection rates and therefore this year's CPI adjustment is capped at 5%.
Additionally, this year's residential adjustment includes the second phase of a three phased rate adjustment that address the collection and processing costs for organic materials necessary to meet compliance with Senate Bill 1383 mandatory programs. Upon City Council Approval, all rate adjustments will become effective July 1, 2023.
On behalf of Burrtec Waste Industries, we thank you and the City for your continued support and the opportunity to serve the City of Barstow. We look forward to discussing these adjustments in greater detail at your earliest convenience. If there are any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me
