Background Information:
The Agency contracts with ACTenviro to operate the household hazardous waste facility, package waste received during collection events and from load checking at the landfill, and transport waste for recycling, treatment, disposal or landfilling. Most of the waste is transported to facilities that are not owned by ACTenviro. As such, ACTenviro cannot always control the cost of the receiving facilities. Additionally, like all organizations, ACTenviro has seen costs escalate recently, including fuel and energy costs.
ACTenviro is requesting to increase the cost of the services provided to the Agency by an average of less than 4%. Based upon the average amount of waste received at the Agency’s facility, this equates to an approximate expense increase of $4,500 annually.
