Orange County approves $430 mandatory refuse assessment for 2027
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners unanimously adopted a mandatory garbage and recycling assessment of $430 per household for 2027, a $30 increase tied to CPI adjustments in hauler contracts; staff said the increase covers hauler compensation by zone.
Orange County commissioners on Sept. 10 unanimously approved a resolution setting the mandatory refuse assessment at $430 per household for calendar year 2027.
David Gregory, manager of the county's solid waste division, told the board the increase — $30 above the current rate — reflects contractual adjustments based on the consumer price index and the rate-calculation clauses in hauler agreements. "In June, the board tentatively established the rate to the customers at $430, which is a $30 increase over this year," Gregory said, asking the board to adopt the MSBU rate and annual hauler compensation schedule.
The motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded; the board voted 'aye' and the motion passed unanimously. Staff also presented the recommended exemption list and the hearing officer's determinations; commissioners approved staff and hearing officer recommendations on exemptions without public appeal.
