Summary Proposed general rate increase that would generate approximately $427,000 (4.6 percent) additional revenue to recover the increased cost of disposal fees set by King County. On January 1, 2013, disposal fees will increase from $109 per ton to $120.17 per ton. The company serves approximately 22,000 residential and commercial garbage customers in King County. The company also seeks to change its monthly recyclable commodity revenue adjustment and be allowed to retain up to 38 percent of the revenue received from the sale of recyclable materials during the 2013 plan year to fund efforts designed to increase recycling. The monthly credit for residential customers would decrease from $3.41 to $2.29, an increase of $1.12 and the monthly credit for multi-family customers would decrease from $0.75 to $0.38 per yard, an increase of $0.37 per yard.
