Committee forwards Noble Environment refuse contract extension with modest rate increases
Summary
Shaler Township committee endorsed sending a proposed extension with a 6.1% increase for 2027 and 6.08% for 2028 to the full Board; a 15% senior discount will remain and the manager said Shaler's rates remain near the low end compared with neighboring communities.
Shaler Township’s Environmental & Land Use Committee voted to forward a proposed contract extension with Noble Environment (County Hauling) for refuse collection in 2027 and 2028 to the full Board at the April meeting.
Township Manager Judith Kording presented the extension and the projected household rates, saying, "there will be a 6.1% increase to $35.83/month in 2027 and a 6.08% increase to $38.01/month in 2028." Kording told the committee that a 15% senior discount would remain available and that Shaler is "the second to lowest in pricing compared to neighboring areas."
Commissioner Iozzo moved to send the contract extension to the Board for consideration; Mr. Fleitman seconded the motion and it was carried. The minutes do not record a roll-call tally, only that the motion carried. Kording also said neighboring municipalities that participate in a regional COG contract are renewing this year, so their future rate changes were "unknown," leaving interjurisdictional comparisons provisional.
The Board will consider the contract extension at its April meeting. If approved, the new rates would take effect in the years shown in the manager’s memo and the township will continue to offer the senior discount described in the presentation.
