Can waste haulers raise rates during the term of the franchise?
Yes, subject to County review and approval. The franchise waste hauler may request annual rate adjustments, but must justify the need for the rate adjustment based on changes to the consumer price index, producer price index, changes in environmental laws or increased landfill disposal costs. The rate adjustments will be subject to the limits specified in the franchise agreement.
