Each member agency contracts directly with Recology to provide <br />trash collection (solid waste, recycling, and composting) in their service area. This arrangement saves time <br />and money compared to each agency providing the service on their own. <br />The Public Works Services Department (“PWS”) helps administer the solid waste program for the City, <br />which provides solid waste collection, disposal, and processing for over 17,400 residential and 2,000 <br />commercial accounts. Solid waste customer fees entirely fund solid waste services. Staff have assessed <br />solid waste rates to ensure they recover the cost of providing solid waste services to each commercial and <br />residential customer class. <br />6.O. - Page 1 of 19 <br />174
