AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution Establishing the Tentative per month Solid
Waste Collection Service Rates for Commercial Property and Commercial Waste Generators for the
Franchise Areas for Fiscal Year 2025-2026.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The County's four Franchise Agreements sets forth commercial rates and allows for annual Consumer
Price Index (CPI) adjustment to the commercial collection rates which is now based upon the Water,
Sewer& Trash Index.
The commercial rates for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 (October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026) are being set
in accordance with the commercial collection rates, as adjusted by 5.2% in accordance with the CPI for
Water, Sewer& Trash per the Franchise Agreements, the Haul-out Agreement and Recycling
Agreement.
The Commercial Collection, Disposal and Recycling Rates were initially established in the Amended
and Restated Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Franchise Agreement between Monroe County and
Waste Management of Florida, Inc. (WM), Marathon Garbage Services, Inc. (MGS), Keys Sanitary
Services (KSS) and Ocean Reef Club, Inc. (Ocean Reef).
The BOCC directed to implement uniform commercial rates at their April 21, 2021 meeting. The BOCC
at its May 19, 2021 meeting approved an Amendment to the agreements with WM, MGS, KSS, and
Ocean Reef to implement uniform commercial rates.
Each year, as per the Agreement, the commercial and recycling rates are adjusted by the Consumer
Price Index and beginning October 1, 2025 will be adjusted based upon the CPI for Water, Sewer&
Trash ending December 31.
The County will publish notice of the proposed commercial rates and notice of the upcoming August
public meeting to adopt the final 2025-2026 Commercial and Recycling rates.
