Waste partner says Bayview fee increase may raise Orem curbside charge; staff asks councils to anticipate budget impact
Summary
A Northpointe representative told council the Bayview Landfill recently raised its gate rate by $1 per ton and that Northpointe may pass that cost through, which could raise the city’s residential curbside fee from about $37 a ton and affect upcoming budgets.
A representative for Northpointe told the council the Northpointe service region faces higher landfill costs because the Bayview Landfill board recently increased its gate rate by $1 per ton.
The presenter said Northpointe — which is part of the Northern Utah Environmental Resource Agency — jointly owns Bayview with other regional entities. He said Northpointe may need to increase fees to cover the added disposal cost and that the city should anticipate impacts to its curbside residential charge. Staff said the current curbside rate the city pays is roughly $37 per ton and that, depending on timing and budget cycles, it could move up by $1 per ton and possibly an additional $0.50 on a later date if the district’s board votes to pass on increases.
The presenter asked the council to anticipate the potential adjustment while the district and Northpointe finalize budgets. The presentation was an informational update; no council action or vote was recorded.
