Solid waste services, which include garbage, <br />recycling, organics collection, disposal, and processing, are provided by Recology San Mateo County <br />(Recology) through a franchise agreement with the City. <br />The City is one of twelve member agencies of the Joint Powers Authority, South Bayside Waste <br />Management Authority (SBWMA). SBWMA provides oversight, support and management of solid waste <br />collection services for the member agencies and annually reviews and audits Recology's Compensation <br />Application. The Compensation Application outlines costs for solid waste and agency services for the year. <br />Once the application is approved by SBWMA, it becomes the basis for setting solid waste collection rates <br />for the member agencies. <br />For 2019, Recology's approved application requires a minimum 9.4% increase for regular, scheduled solid <br />waste services and a 2.07% increase for unscheduled solid waste services to meet revenue requirements <br />for Redwood City.
