Rate Increase Notice - Murrey's & American Disposal
Dear Valued Customer,
The commodity price adjustment you see on your bill has historically been a credit that reduced your recycling rate. Recent disruption to global recycling markets has increased the cost for processing recyclables. Effective October 1, 2018, the commodity price adjustment will reflect an increase to your recycling rate. Prices will adjust every five to twelve months to respond to future market changes.
The Value of Recycle will change from a -$.63 credit to $3.46 charge, per month. This rate change is a projection and could change as mentioned below.
In late 2017, China announced they would ban many recyclable materials and institute quality requirements that are nearly unachievable. China is the single largest consumer of recyclables from the United States, so the new requirements have impacted recycling programs all over the country. The new quality requirements have resulted in increased processing cost at third party processing facilities. These costs are passed on to us when we deliver recyclable materials to the facilities.
The UTC has the authority to set final rates, depending on the outcome of its investigation. You can comment by using the "Submit a Comment" feature at the commission's website at utc.wa.gov, at comments@utc.wa.gov or by using the contact information below. Commission staff will make a recommendation to the commissioners at an open meeting in Olympia, which is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on September 27, 2018. If you choose to do so, you will have an opportunity to comment in person at this meeting. The UTC is committed to providing reasonable accommodation to participants with disabilities. If you need reasonable accommodation, please contact the commission at (360) 664-1132 or human_resources@utc.wa.gov.
If you are unable to attend the open meeting, the commission has a bridge line which enables you to participate by telephone. Call (360) 664-1234 the day before the open meeting for instructions and to sign in.
