River Heights raises solid-waste and green-waste fees; adds $27 container delivery charge
Summary
Council adopted Resolution No. 5, 2024, updating solid waste, recycling and green waste collection fees per consortium contract changes; the council added a $27 container delivery/removal one-time fee to the resolution.
City staff presented an updated fee schedule for solid waste, recycling and green-waste collection following consortium negotiations with Waste Management. Council reviewed the new monthly rates (as presented in the staff spreadsheet) and noted that green-waste fees rose sharply in recent contract years. Council member Sheila Lind and others also flagged an increase in the one-time container delivery/removal fee, which the council set at $27 and added to the resolution.
The council moved and approved Resolution No. 5, 2024, adopting the revised fee schedule with the added container delivery/removal fee. Staff said they will notify affected customers and include the changes in city billing and public materials.
Next steps: staff will publish the new fee schedule and update billing systems to reflect the revised monthly fees and the $27 container delivery/removal charge.
