Summary
:
Overall, collection rates for both residential and commercial services have risen due to factors such as inflation and the addition of services to comply with state mandates. Riverside County unincorporated areas saw notable rate increases from revised franchise agreements, with adjustments effective on October 1, 2024. The City of Norco had a reduction to existing residential and commercial rates due to negotiations in their franchise agreement.
Purpose / WRCOG 2022-2027 Strategic Plan Goal
:
The purpose of this item is to present the findings of the Residential and Commercial Rate Survey. This effort aligns with WRCOG's 2022-2027 Strategic Plan Goal #6.3 (Continuing to support the Solid Waste & Recycling Program).
Discussion
:
Background
Each year, WRCOG conducts an informational waste rate survey of surrounding member agencies regarding fees and programs from local waste haulers. The survey is comprised of the residential and commercial waste fees for refuse, recycling, and organics recycling within Riverside County, as well as unincorporated areas. Member agencies may use the survey as a resource to compare with neighboring jurisdictions to understand the local rates and additional services provided by waste haulers.
Present Situation
Fiscal Year 2024/2025 Residential and Commercial Rate Survey : Rates for both commercial and
residential refuse services have historically been increased by inflation Consumer Price Index, or “CPI,” which is calculated into the customer rate. The current CPI is based on the calendar year 2023 data 1 supplied by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. CPI for All Urban Consumers in the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario area increased by 4.65%. Some member agencies, as a part of their franchise agreement with their hauler, have adjustments capped at 4%. Some member agencies have extraordinary increases or adjustments not reflected in the CPI. These adjustments may be associated with regulatory requirements and programs (i.e., Senate Bill 1383 compliance fee) or shifts in market conditions, such as rising industry costs and increases in landfill tipping fees. The County of Riverside’s Waste Management Department did not adjust its disposal rate in Fiscal Year 2024/2025. Some member agencies have structured their rates to separate organic waste into food waste and non-food waste (green waste). Some member agencies offer a commercial compliance bundled rate structure that includes trash, standard, and organic recycling for one price.
Overall, residential rates vary from a reduction of rates in the City of Norco, to a notable increase of
35.10% in the Riverside County unincorporated area A1. For commercial rates, rate adjustments vary from -9% to 43%. The notable increase in rates for Riverside County unincorporated areas is due to revisions in franchise agreements. Residential and commercial waste rates in these areas remained unchanged since Fiscal Year 2022/2023, with adjustments implemented on October 1, 2024. The City of Norco reduced existing residential and commercial rates following negotiations in its franchise agreement with Waste Management. The City of Perris did not adjust its waste rates for Fiscal Year 2024/2025.
