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. Throughout the years, Republic Services has consistently provided efficient waste removal services. The current franchise agreement between Republic Waste Services and the City allows a once per year request for a rate increase provided that it can be justified by the Director of Finance. The proposed franchise agreement modification will allow for a $0.39 increase to residential collection service, per household, per month, a 3.8% increase to commercial service collected in 2, 4 or 8 yard dumpsters or commercial bags and a 3.8% increase to materials collected in roll-off containers or compactors.
Financial Consideration
Funding for the increase for both residential and commercial solid waste customers is in the FY 2019/2020 Proposed Solid Waste Operating Fund Budget.
