Introduction
Effective July 1, 2005 the Ada County Commissioners are raising the disposal fees at
the Hidden Hollow Landfill. Ada County Resolution No. 1314 is attached to this
memorandum. Table 1 indicates the current and future (July 1) rate structure for all
waste entering the Ada County Hidden Hollow Landfill.

Rate Change Effective July 1, 2005
Current Rates Future Rates % Increase
"
Wood Waste $125 per cubic yard $ 1.50 per cubic yard 20%
Noncompacted/loose $ 2.50 per cubic yard $ 3.00 per cubic yard 20%
Construction/Demolition $ 5.50 per cubic yard $6.00 per cubic yard 9%
Compacted $4.00 per cubic yard $ 6.00 per cubic yard 50%

Refrigeration Units $10.00 Each $12.00 each 20%
Asbestos $25.00 per cubic yard $25.00 per cubic yard 0%
As you can see from Table 1 the compacted waste rate is increasing 50%. All
residential and commercial waste from municipalities is compacted waste. Construction
wastes will be increasing to a lesser degree. In 2004 Sanitary Services paid

approximately $870,000 in disposal fees to Ada County. Had this new rate structure
been in effect in 2004, fees would have been in excess of $1.2 million.
New Rate Structure
Our contract with the City of Meridian allows us to pass through to the cOnsumer the
effects of landfill rate increases that we have no control over. Also, these costs are
specifically eliminated from any annual CPI rate increases since they are controlled by
Ada County.
To modify our rates accurately we determined the proportion of each rate that is
disposal. Our analysis indicates that residential rates are 11 % disposal and commercial
rates are 16% disposal. Construction waste collection invoices disposal separately so
no analysis is required for that waste stream. Therefore, for a residential customer that
is paying $10.15 per month, the amount attributable to disposal is $1.13 per month
($10.15 * 0.11 = $1.13). With the disposal of this type of waste increasing 50% the new
disposal rate per house per month increases by $0.57 from $1.13 to $1.70. This
incremental increase ($0.57) has to be adjusted further to account for the City of
Meridian's 6% franchise fee, adding an additional $0.03 to each residential monthly bill.
Therefore, the final residential rate becomes $10.75 ($10,15 + $0.57 + $0.03) per month
per home. Overall this is a 5.9% rate increase.
We have completed similar calculations for all of the commercial rates and have
attached a modified rate sheet for your review. Rates by category increased as follows:
Residential collection
Commercial can collection
Commercial container collection
Commercial compactor collection
Roll - Off services
5.9%
9.4%
9.4%
15% - 20%
4.2% - 31.3%
Please be aware that rates will be modified again in September based upon cpr
adjustments as allowed in our contract.
Other Changes
Asbestos Haulinq
I'
Sanitary Services on rare occasions hauls asbestos waste to the landfill. Currently,
there is no specific rate for this service and we are proposing the following rate structure:
Haul to Ada County Landfill:
Haul to Idaho Waste Systems:
$132.00/haul + Disposal + Franchise Fees
$210.00/haul + Disposal + Franchise Fees
This waste stream is hauled in roll off containers and its transportation and disposal is
governed through the Federal Toxic Substances Control Act. To haul this material the
driver is required to have additional training and be able to use specific safety equipment
in case of an emergency. Because of the additional training requirements and the
2
,--
additional safety equipment that we must have available we are requesting a rate higher
than a typical roll off container rate.
Voluntary Commercial Cardboard Collection
Currently Sanitary Services collects cardboard from commercial accounts on a voluntary
basis in 3 cubic yard containers. The material is collected once per week and customers
may have a second container if they need it. We propose to change the collection to
use 5 cubic yard expanded metal containers and allow collections three times per week.
There will be no cost increase to the customers per dump while the volume per dump
wîllincrease from 3 cubic yards to 5 cubic yards.
