Summary	Increased rates that would generate $1,483,008 (13.8 percent) in additional annual revenue for the collection of residential and commercial garbage, residential recycling, yard waste, and drop box services. The company and staff agreed to a lower revenue requirement than originally proposed and revised rates. The revised rates would result in increased annual bills for some customers, as compared to the rates the company originally proposed. The company asks for exemptions from rules to allow the revised rates to become effective August 1, 2010, on less than statutory notice, and to allow the company to notify customers of increases with the next billing. The company serves approximately 20,500 residential and commercial customers in King County. The company's last general rate increase was effective May 1, 2006.
