Proposed Fee Increase - Chester Green Waste Disposal

The Chester Green Waste Program is jointly operated by Feather River Disposal and the Plumas County Department of Public Works through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This MOU was put in place in 2023 and initially set a fee of $5 Per Cubic Yard for the disposal of Green Waste. It was determined however that this fee was insufficient to cover Public Works' costs associated with running the program. A nexus study was performed that determined that a fee of $7 Per Cubic Yard would be necessary to cover the costs of the program.

If approved, the attached Resolution will increase Green Waste fees at the Chester Green Waste Program to $7 per Cubic Yard. The Resolution, along with the nexus study can be found below.
