SOLID WASTE & HAZARDOUS MATERIALS FEE INCREASES On May 2nd, City Council approved rate increases for the City's Solid Waste Administrative Fee and Hazardous Materials Facility Fee. These increases will become effective June 1, 2017. The Administra- tive Fee will increase from $1.55 to $2.35 per month to fund management and billing costs associated with the City's solid waste, recycling, and composting collection programs. This increase is a result of the City's imple- mentation of program budgeting in 2016. Program budgeting more accurately accounts for and allocates costs to various activities within the City. The Hazardous Materials Management Facility Fee (HMMF) will increase from $0.50 to $0.55. This increase reflects small increases in ongoing operational costs. The HMMF is a partnership among Boulder County com- munities that provides for a safe location to dispose of and repurpose hazardous materials such as fuel, paint, fertilizer, batteries, and other household items. If you have questions about the rate increases, please contact Utility Billing at CustomerService@LouisvilleCO.Gov or 303.335.4501. June 2017 2
