NOTICE REGARDING PROPOSED RATE INCREASES TO SOLID WASTE

SERVICES
The City of Stanton has an exclusive franchise with CR&R, Inc. (“CR&R”) for the collection, disposal, recycling, and processing of solid waste, green waste, food scrap waste, and recycling within the City. CR&R is proposing to increase the rates it charges for the collection and handling of solid waste within the City to account for annual inflationary rate increases and increased landfill tipping fees imposed by OC Waste & Recycling.

The franchise agreement establishes a process for adjusting the rates that CR&R charges ratepayers in the City for the solid waste services it provides. The agreement provides that the rates that CR&R charges shall be adjusted each year for inflationary increases. Consequently, the solid waste fees are proposed to be adjusted based on the annual percentage change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metropolitan area beginning September 1, 2027, and each September 1 thereafter through and including September 1, 2030. However, the City’s franchise agreement with CR&R ensures that such CPI increases shall not exceed the median of rates for similar services in 13 nearby North County cities.

The franchise agreement also provides that the rates charged by CR&R may be adjusted for other extraordinary costs, including extraordinary changes in the tipping fee charged by a landfill owned or operated by the County of Orange.

Beginning in July 2026, OC Waste & Recycling will begin an 85% increase in landfill tipping fees phased in over a 3-year period. The current tipping fee of $43.76 per ton will be increased to $67.00 per ton effective July 1, 2026. Thereafter, the tipping fee will increase to $74.00 per ton on July 1, 2027, and then to $81.00 per ton on July 1, 2028. As such, the solid waste fees are proposed to be adjusted to pass through the increase in tipping fees. Further, each September 1 thereafter, through and including September 1, 2030, the then-current solid waste service fees are proposed to be adjusted annually based on the City’s agreement with the County of Orange for CPI adjustments. 60% of the increase shall be comprised of the CPI published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for all Urban Consumers: Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Services in U.S. City Average (CUSR0000EHG). The remaining 40% of the increase shall be comprised of the CPI for All Urban Consumers, not seasonally adjusted, all items index – all items in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim (CUURS49ASA0).
