Information
The Village changes refuse service rates intermittently. The Village had a property tax levy for
refuse services prior to 2015. The levy was canceled starting in 2015, and a cost -based
service model was adopted. The Village has to raise the rates for the refuse service as the cost
of service increases. The Village has adopted the practice of changing rates for two-year
periods.
Discussion
The current refuse rates are set to cover the actual cost of the refuse program. Refuse costs
cover various components, including Republic Service contract fees, SWANCC (Solid Waste
Agency of Northern Cook County) tipping fees, internal staffing costs for the leaf program,
program management costs, and general overhead. Republic Services fees are set to increase
by 2.25 percent annually. Tipping fees from SWANCC also have an annual increase from the
agency based on their actual program costs. The Village's personnel and equipment costs are
also increasing due to regular increases and inflation. The Village needs to increase its refuse
service rates by 3.5 percent for the years 2026 and 2027 in response to these external
increases. The 2026 approved budget includes a 3.5 percent increase in the refuse rates, and
this ordinance formally adopted those approved in the budget.
2025 rate: $291-30 (Annual)
2026 rate: $301.50 (Annual), an annual increase of $10.20 or 3.5% from 2025 rates
2027 and thereafter: $312.05, an annual increase of $10.55 or 3.5% from 2026 rates
