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 2026-2027.
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 2026-2027 (October 1, 2026 - September 30, 2027) are being set
in accordance with the commercial collection rates, as adjusted by 4.7% 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 2026-2027 Commercial and Recycling rates.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: The BOCC approved the Amended and Restated Solid
Waste and Recycling Collection Franchise Agreements between WM, MGS, KSS on May 21, 2014
and Ocean Reef on August 20, 2014.
The BOCC at its April 21, 2021 meeting directed for the commercial rates to be uniform and for staff
to implement uniform commercial rates among the Franchisee.
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.
The BOCC at its August 21, 2024 meeting approved an Extension and Amendment to the Amended
and Restated Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Franchise Agreements.
