Item Summary:
On August 26, 2010, the City Council approved an amendment to the City Ordinance regarding the implementation
of a comprehensive solid waste management and recycling program for the citizens of Round Rock. The new
service, which commenced on January 1, 2011, provides residents with two 96 -gallon containers, one for garbage
and one for recycling. The garbage is collected once per week and the recycling collected every other week.
As part of our agreement with Round Rock Refuse, the City agreed to evaluate the rate annually to account for
changes in the landfill and fuel costs. This proposed ordinance amendment is necessary in order to account for a
five percent increase in the landfill disposal costs as well as account for an increase in fuel costs. With these
adjustments, the new rate will increase from $16.91 to $17.60 per customer.
**On first reading, the Council requested not to add an additional 20% to the $.55 increase which results
in the new rate being $17.46 a month instead of the $17.60 as listed above.**
