Summary: Request from the North Sound/Marysville business unit to retain up to 50 percent of the revenue received for the sale of recyclable commodities in accordance with the 2022-2023 Revenue Sharing Plans with King and Snohomish Counties; and requested $2.06 decrease (decrease from a charge of $0.25 to a credit of $1.81) per month for residential recycling customers in King County; and requested $2.08 decrease (decrease from a charge of $0.17 to a credit of $1.91) per month for residential recycling customers in Snohomish County. Also includes an increase to garbage rates due to a disposal fee increase at all King County Solid Waste facilities, which will increase from $140.82 to $154.02 per ton on January 1, 2022. The disposal fee increase would increase revenues by approximately $672,000 (4.7 percent). These tariff revisions also reflect a 5.4 percent increase to the King County Local Hazardous Waste Fees. The company serves approximately 115,000 garbage, recycling, and yard waste customers in King and Snohomish Counties. The company’s last general rate case became effective September 1, 2015.
