Coppell updates fee schedule to reflect 3% contract increase for solid‑waste collection
Summary
Council approved a resolution to amend the master fee schedule to reflect a 3% contract escalation with Republic, raising the standard residential solid‑waste fee from $19.33 to $19.91 monthly effective Jan. 1, 2025.
The City of Coppell on Dec. 10 approved a resolution amending its master fee schedule to reflect a 3% annual escalation included in the city's contract with Republic Services.
City staff said the fee change — required by the contract renewed Sept. 22, 2020 — increases the standard monthly residential solid‑waste fee from $19.33 to $19.91 (a $0.58 per‑month increase, $6.96 per year). The senior residential rate rises from $17.39 to $17.92 (a $0.53 monthly increase).
Staff emphasized the adjustment merely reflects a contractual escalation and that the city passes the cost through to residents rather than absorbing it. The council voted to approve the resolution as presented.
Commercial rates in the schedule likewise reflect a 3% increase consistent with the Republic contract. The changes take effect Jan. 1, 2025.
