Summary General rate increase request in the form of a temporary surcharge on residential recycling service due to increased processing costs on recyclable materials. The surcharge would increase recycling rates by $0.54 (6.7 percent) per month, and would result in approximately $134,000 in additional annual revenue. The temporary surcharge would be set to expire after 90 days, after which the company would file to update the surcharge in subsequent 90 day intervals as needed. The company serves approximately 21,600 recycling customers in Spokane.
