The City has proposed a 5% increase to the fees that fund solid waste programs and administration, referred to as solid waste fees or “AB 939 Fees.” This proposed fee adjustment is necessary to ensure the continued financial sustainability of the City’s Solid Waste Program, which includes free hazardous waste disposal, waste reduction measures, composting, public education and outreach events, as well as compliance with state-mandated diversion goals. The proposed increase will help offset rising operational costs and allow the City to expand certain free programs. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/3WmoRBa.
