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 landfill, fuel, and overhead costs. The 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 of 1.68% in Operations, Overhead, and Profit cost component. In addition,
there is a decrease in the fuel cost component of 3.31%. With these adjustments, the new rate will
increase from 17.46 to 17.61 per customer per month.
Staff recommends approval.
