Summary: Request from the South Sound/Seattle business unit to retain up to 50 percent of the revenue received for the sale of recyclable commodities in accordance with the 2022-2023 King County Revenue Sharing Plan; and requested $2.42 decrease (decrease from a charge of $0.27 to a credit of $2.15) per month for residential recycling customers in King 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 $375,000 (3.7 percent). These tariff revisions also reflect a 5.4 percent increase to the King County Local Hazardous Waste Fees. Also includes a requested waiver from a condition listed in Order 01 of Docket TG-201013. The company serves approximately 17,700 garbage, recycling, and yard waste customers in King County. The company’s last general rate case became effective March 1, 2021.
