Analysis
Since 1962, the company currently doing business as Republic Services of Arlington has provided solid waste collection services for the City of Grand Prairie. The current franchise agreement between Republic Services and the City permits Republic Services to request fee increases. For FY2021, Republic Services is requesting an increase to the “per household/ per month” rate of $0.22. Republic is also requesting to increase the industrial disposal rate to $37.65, the industrial haul rate to $154.50 per haul and the industrial delivery fee to $71.00. This ordinance change will make these new rates effective October 1, 2020, after the second reading and approval.
Financial Consideration
There will be no impact on the City’s budget, the rate is a pass through.
