Agenda 09/26/2023 Item #16C 3 (Resolution: Resolution for FY2024 fee schedules for residential and commercial collection)09/26/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and adopt the FY2024 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 as presented in the
FY2024 Solid Waste Budget.
OBJECTIVE: To adopt the Fiscal Year 2024 recommended fee schedules established in the annual rate resolution
to support the solid waste collection, disposal, and recycling needs of Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 12, 2023, Agenda Item 17.C. the Board approved resolutions establishing
the residential assessment rate for curbside collection services in municipal service collection Districts I and II for
FY2024. In accordance with the FY2024 budget, the residential annual assessment is $249.29 per unit in both
Districts; an annual increase per unit of $18.47 ($1.54 per month) in District I and $21.20 ($1.77 per month) in
District II 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.
In accordance with the FY2024 Solid Waste Budget, the tipping fees at the landfill and transfer station will increase
by an overall average of 8.0%. Over 70% of the Solid Waste Division’s expenses are contractual costs that increase
annually depending upon published consumer price indexes. On July 13, 2021 (Agenda Item 11.F.), the Board
approved the “Recommendation to accept the Solid Waste Rate Study and Financial Forecast” that included
equalizing the MSW disposal rates between the two Solid Waste Municipal Service Districts beginning FY2022
and reaching unity with FY2024 rates. The rates incorporate sustainable and long-term strategic planning to
maintain a revenue structure 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. These rates provide sufficient revenue to support Board approved service levels and escalation
of contracted service fees.
There are no changes to the fees at the County owned and operated recycling drop -off centers. Most items are free
of charge for residents to drop-off at these centers. These centers provide proper disposal of hazardous and
recyclable materials, thereby safeguarding our fragile environment and preserving the County’s pristine paradise.
These fees provide the revenue necessary to support the cost associated to co llect, 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.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed landfill tipping fees and recycling center fees will provide estimated FY2024
revenues of $32,527,000 (Collier County Landfill $29,117,600; Immokalee Transfer Station $3,151,800; recycling
drop-off centers $257,600); for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund (4070). The mandatory solid waste collection and
disposal assessments will provide estimated FY2024 revenues of $34,228,000 for the Mandatory Trash Collection
Fund (4073).
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.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney and is approved as to form
and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
