Board approves resolution to reimburse landfill for district collection; director explains code‑enforcement overlap
Summary
The board voted to approve Resolution 2‑2026 to reimburse the landfill for district solid waste collections, which included 25,206.28 tons from district trucks and 153.55 tons from code enforcement; staff said the code‑enforcement volumes are labor/allocation matters and historically handled by solid waste.
The Richmond Sanitary District board approved Resolution 2‑2026 on April 14, 2026, formalizing a reimbursement from the solid waste department to the landfill fund for district collection services.
During the presentation the director said the landfill received 25,206.28 tons from the district’s trash trucks in 2025; the stated charge was $36.41 per ton plus a $1 per‑ton state fee, which the director reported totaled $942,966.93. Code enforcement collections were listed as 153.55 tons, at the same unit rates, totaling $5,744.31. The director explained code‑enforcement removals are largely a division‑of‑labor issue (sometimes code enforcement moves material to the curb and calls the solid‑waste crews) and that the district pays 100% of code‑enforcement salaries; the reimbursement reflects that overlap.
Board members asked clarifying questions about which items are included and whether demolition or contractor work is treated differently; the director said demolition and contractor jobs are handled outside this reimbursement and are charged separately. Following discussion the board moved, seconded and approved Resolution 2‑2026 by unanimous voice vote.
What the resolution does: it formalizes the cost‑of‑service reimbursement to the landfill for materials handled by the solid waste department (including those moved to the curb by code enforcement when appropriate). The director said the volume related to code enforcement is a small fraction of the total and that note is reflected in the monthly reports.
The board did not take any separate action to change rates at the meeting; staff said they will continue to monitor volumes and allocations as part of ongoing budgeting work.
