Agenda 09/27/2022 Item #16C 1 (To adopt the FY2023 fee schedules established in the annual rate resolution to support the Solid Waste collection and disposal)09/27/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and adopt the FY2023 fee schedules established in the annual rate
resolution for residential and commercial collection and disposal of solid waste and recycling at
Collier County Solid Waste Facilities, including the landfill, transfer station, and recycling drop-off
centers. The FY2023 rate resolution implements the 2021 Solid Waste Rate Study and Financial
Forecast Report approved on July 13, 2021 - Agenda Item 11.F, as well as escalation of certain
Franchisee fees in accordance with their contracts, with no other fiscal impacts to previous board
adopted resolutions.
OBJECTIVE: To adopt the FY2023 recommended fee schedules established in the annual rate
resolution to support the Solid Waste collection and disposal needs for Collier County and provide best
service values.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 13, 2022, Agenda Item 17.C, the Board approved Resolutions No.
2022-139 (District I) and No. 2022-140 (District II), establishing residential assessment rates for the
Fiscal Year 2023. For District I the residential annual assessment is $230.82 per unit and it is $228.09 per
unit in District II; an average increase of $5.83 per unit from last fiscal year. The residential assessment
provides the following best value service levels: a garbage and recycling container for use at the assessed
address; twice a week collection of garbage; once a week collection of recycling, yard waste, and bulky
items; and on demand collection of electronics, tires, and household appliances.
Tonnage rates at the landfill and transfer station will increase in accordance with the Solid Waste Rate
Study and Financial Forecast Report approved on July 13, 2021 - Agenda Item 11.F. On average this will
increase rates by 3.25% and also align tipping fees across the Service Districts by the end of fiscal year
2024. Over 70% of the solid waste division’s expenses are driven by contractual costs escalated by the
increasing consumer price index (CPI). The rates incorporate sustainable and long-term strategic
planning to maintain a revenue-based cash flow that aligns with the Integrated Solid Waste Management
Strategy’s Guiding Principles to sustain environmental and growth management compliance, airspace
preservation, operational excellence, and best service values.
There are no other notable fiscal impacts. These rates provide the revenue necessary to support the cost
associated to collect, process, recycle, and/or dispose of the wide range of waste generated in the county,
including municipal solid waste, biomass (yard waste), construction and demolition materials, white
goods, bulky material, tires, electronics, household hazardous wastes, and recyclable materials such as
paint, cardboard, scrap metal, glass, and plastics. Further, this fee structure approach allows for free
collection from residents at the County’s recycling drop-off centers. These centers provide proper
disposal of hazardous and recyclable materials, thereby safeguarding our fragile environment and
preserving our County’s pristine paradise.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed landfill tipping fees and recycling center fees will provide estimated
FY2023 revenues of $28,919,200 (Collier County Landfill $26,179,700; Immokalee Transfer Station
$2,525,100; recycling drop-off centers $214,400); for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund (470). The
mandatory solid waste collection and disposal assessments will provide estimated FY23 revenues of
$30,930,600 for the Mandatory Trash Collection Fund (473).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This rate resolution is in compliance with the Growth
Management Plan, which provides for increased recycling and reuse of the solid waste stream.
