Transfer Station & Solid Waste Container Sites
The reimbursement rates for the Redway Transfer Station and the solid waste container sites located in Humboldt County are calculated each year by adding the annual index-based adjustments, as set forth in the county’s solid waste container site agreements, plus any changes in the operators’ disposal, processing, and operation costs. The reimbursement rate adjustments for the Redway Transfer Station and the solid waste container sites located in Humboldt County are as follows:
• Recology Eel River - Redway Transfer Station: Reimbursement rate adjustment will result in an increase of $9,863.78 or 59.14% per month from the prior year’s reimbursement of $16,679.74.
• Recology Eel River - Southern Sold Waste Container Sites: Reimbursement rate adjustment will result in an increase of $1,848.47 or 16.81% per month from the prior year’s reimbursement of $10,994.42.
• Humboldt Sanitation Company, Inc. - Northern Solid Waste Container Sites: Reimbursement rate adjustment will result in an increase of $2,945.07 or 13.11% per month from the prior year’s reimbursement of $22,467.93.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Humboldt County’s reimbursement to Recology Eel River and Humboldt Sanitation Company, Inc. for operation and maintenance of the Redway Transfer Station and the solid waste container sites located in Humboldt County including recycling and illegal dumping clean-up through the contractors is projected at $777,593 for FY 2022-23.
