Haulers are free to charge residents what they please for curbside collection of additional items. Due to competitive reasons, haulers may or may not charge extra for bulky wastes. 4.5.2 Organized System Cities Blaine The rates for the varying levels of service charged to residents differ from that paid to the hauler. The rates charged to the residents by the City are typically more than what the City is required to pay the hauler for the service. These differences in the costs cover administration fees and other overhead costs incurred by the City. The City also pays the disposal tipping fees directly. In Blaine, the cost for the 30 gallon service charged to residents ($8.94) is less than what the City pays the hauler ($10.96). The difference in that cost is subsidized by the higher rates the City charges the residents that use 60 or 90 gallon service. Residents pay $12.79 and $14.98 for the 60 and 90 gallon service, respectively. The City pays the hauler $11.40 and $12.57 for the 60 and 90 gallon service, respectively. This elevated cost structure is meant to influence residents to choose the smallest volume necessary for their home garbage needs. Residents may choose from four levels of service including a senior service, 30 gallon, 60 gallon or 90 gallon service. The 90 gallon service allows for unlimited collection at no additional charge. This means residents with the unlimited service may place additional bags of MSW that do not fit into the supplied 90 gallon container on the curb and the hauler will collect it for no additional fee. Residents using this service also may discard mattresses, couches, toilets, etc. for no additional charge. 94 •Foth Infrastructure & Environment, LLC R - Analysis of Waste Collection Service Arrangements.doc June 2009
