Agenda 09/26/2017 Item #16C809/26/2017
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the annual rate resolution to establish the fees, rates, and charges for
the use of Collier County Solid Waste Facilities, including landfill tipping fees, recycling drop-off
center fees, and residential multi-family and commercial waste collection fees for FY18. This
resolution adopts the rates that fund the FY18 budget for solid waste collection and disposal and
increases the rates by 2.9 percent in accordance with the consumer price index for the year.
______________________________________________________________________________
OBJECTIVE: To set landfill tipping fees, recycling drop-off center fees, and residential multi-family
and commercial waste collection fees for FY18.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division’s budget is primarily
based on the annual mandatory solid waste collection and disposal assessments, and user fees for the
Collier County Landfill, the Immokalee Transfer Station, the Hazardous Materials Collection Center , and
the county’s recycling drop-off centers. These fees are critical to sustaining the Board of County
Commissioners (Board)-approved Enduring Guiding Principles, which provide directives toward
obtaining best value solutions, preserving valuable landfill (disposal) airspace, and the proper disposal of
solid waste generated in Collier County.
The fees outlined in the rate resolution support the Solid and Hazardous Waste Management Division’s
FY18 budget. These rates provide the revenue necessary 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, and furniture, tires, electronics, household hazardous
wastes, and recyclable materials such as paint, cardboard, scrap metal, glass and plastics. The proposed
rates set the correct level of funding to retire costs associated with the demand for solid waste disposal,
while planning for Collier County’s future recycling and solid waste management needs.
Residential solid waste collection services in Collier County include twice a week trash pickup, once a
week recycling pickup, on demand bulky item and electronics pickup, once a week yard waste pickup,
and guaranteed recycling services. Residential curbside rates for FY18 will be $207.39 per residential unit
for District I (greater Collier County), and $198.41 per residential unit for District II (Immokalee and
northeastern Collier County), as approved by the Board at its September 12, 2017 meeting. The solid
waste disposal service costs are supported by landfill tipping fees and the volume of disposed waste. At
the Board’s October 11, 2016, meeting under agenda item 17E, the Board approved Resolution 2016 -209
that included Consumer Price Index-based rate adjustments for enterprise funds in the mid-cycle years
when there is no rate study. FY18 landfill tipping fees includes a 2.9 percent adjustment for residential
and commercial customers to generate revenues to fund planned operational, maintenance, and capital
investment activities in accordance with the Board approved budget guidelines for consumer price index
adjustments. There are no reported changes in the rate structure for the recycle centers.
FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed landfill tipping fees and recycling center fees will provide estimated
FY18 revenues of $13,275,900 (Collier County Landfill $11,578,300; Immokalee Transfer Station
$1,482,200; recycling drop-off centers $215,400; reimbursement residential curbside tipping fees
$7,762,700) for the Solid Waste Disposal Fund (470). The mandatory solid waste collection and disposal
assessments will provide estimated FY18 revenues of $25,052,700 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.
