NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING AND
PROPOSED SOLID WASTE RATE
INCREASES FOR UTILITY BILLS
ON AND AFTER JULY 1, 2024
The City provides customers with dependable,
efficient, safe, and cost-effective solid waste
services for residents and businesses that call
Santa Clara home.
The proposed solid waste rates have been
generated through a recent rate study to ensure
that each service rate equitably captures the cost of
service. Each proposed solid waste rate was
developed to include the sum of the following cost
elements :
1) Collection costs
2) Processing and disposal or composting costs
3) City program costs
Rate increases are necessary to fund the
contractually obligated compensation adjustments
paid to the City's solid waste service providers.
The City will continue to implement appropriate and
prudent cost-saving and cost-controlling measures
to maintain the affordability of these basic services .
