Solid Waste Rate Increase for 2027

Recology is seeking a 6.09% rate increase for 2027 — about $2.53-$3.02 more per month for most residents — driven by fuel costs, higher disposal (tipping) fees, and fleet depreciation. The formal protest hearing is November 24, and residents can submit written protests to block the rates.
