Recycling Contamination Fees Explained, Goal is Cost Stabilization
The Safety Service Director explained the recycling contamination fee structure. A ton of recyclables costs $100, with an additional $75 fee if contamination exceeds 30%, bringing the total to $175. Trash costs $100 per ton. The goal of the new recycling initiative is to stabilize costs by reducing contamination fees, rather than necessarily achieving cost reductions. Weekly monitoring of loads will occur.
