Notice of Public Hearing to Consider
Proposed Refuse Rate Increase
If you are the owner of this property but have a tenant who is responsible for the refuse collection bill related to this property, please forward this notice to the tenant.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED REFUSE RATES
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Coronado will hold a Public Hearing at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Coronado on June 17, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter as the matter can be heard in the Council Chamber of the Civic Center, 1825 Strand Way, Coronado, California, 92118 for the purpose of considering an increase in rates for refuse services effective July 1, 2025.
PURPOSE OF PROPOSED RATE INCREASES
The City Council will consider proposed changes to the maximum allowable Integrated Solid Waste Management Services fees charged by EDCO Disposal Corp. for Fiscal Year 2025-26 and Fiscal Year 2026-27. Adjustment of the refuse rate is being proposed due to the increased costs of providing refuse collection and recycling services to the residential and business communities. Revenues derived from the refuse rates are used solely for the actual and necessary expenses of providing refuse services to customers. The purpose of the proposed rate increases is to allow EDCO to collect sufficient revenue to enable it to continue providing refuse service to its customers in the face of increasing operating costs.
PROTESTS
At the public hearing, the City Council will consider objections and protests to the proposed charges either delivered to Attn: City Clerk, City of Coronado, 1825 Strand Way, Coronado, California 92118, by 5:30 p.m., June 16, 2025, or filed with the City Clerk prior to the conclusion of the public hearing. Persons interested may appear before the Council at the above date, place and time. Oral comments at the public hearing will not qualify as a formal protest unless accompanied by a written protest. The City Council will receive a final tabulation of all written protests received by the City at the hearing. Written protests must contain a description of the property such as the address or assessor’s parcel number and include the name of the customer submitting the protest. Please send written protests to the above referenced address. If you challenge the matter in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues you or someone else raised at the public hearing described in this notice or in written correspondence delivered to the City Clerk at, or prior to, the public hearing.
PROPOSED INCREASES
The amount of your refuse bill is determined by the quantity and size of your refuse containers and the frequency of collection. The information below shows the proposed rate increase effective July 1, 2025, which was calculated by applying a weighted rate adjustment based on changes in the Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers for the San Diego Area) and changes in the global recycling market. The rate adjustment equates to 13.21% for residential service, and 12.8% for commercial service. A sample of typical rate types is listed below. For a complete schedule of all solid waste rates, please contact the City Clerk’s Office.
