Solid Waste Rate Increase Legal Notice
City of Tacoma Notice of Solid Waste Rate Increase
This Notice of Rate Increase notifies Tacoma’s Solid Waste Utility customers that their solid waste rates may increase a system average of 4 percent in 2023 and in 2024. Rate increases for residential and commercial solid waste customers are necessary to fund inflation, increased labor costs, increased costs for recycling, and capital investment in infrastructure. If passed, the rate increase will become effective no sooner than January 1, 2023. First reading of the ordinance proposing such rate increases will be on November 15, 2022, at the regularly scheduled meeting of the Tacoma City Council, which begins at 5:00 PM on the first floor of the Tacoma Municipal Building at 747 Market Street. To attend City Council meetings virtually, follow this link: https://cityoftacoma.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Persons may comment on the proposed solid waste rate increases at the Tacoma City Council meetings scheduled for November 15 and November 22, 2022. Proposed rate increases for individual customer categories are available online at cityoftacoma.org/rates and are provided in the following table: City of Tacoma Proposed Rates Schedule
