Background

The agreement between the City of Coronado and EDCO, the City’s waste hauler, permits annual rate increases for solid waste services. For the past five rate cycles, these increases have been implemented every two years. Rate adjustments are calculated by two cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) formulas alongside several adjustment factors: landfill tipping fees for refuse and organics, fuel and oil prices, and changes in the San Diego Region Consumer Price Index (CPI). These factors influence both commercial and residential rates for refuse, recycling, and organic waste services. Rate adjustments are further influenced by City costs and recycling revenue fluctuations.

Why Are Rates Being Adjusted?

The proposed rate increase is part of a scheduled review of the City’s solid waste collection rates, consistent with the terms of its franchise agreement with EDCO. The primary driver of this year's recommended rate increase is the substantial rise in disposal costs, which impacts multiple components of the rate structure. At its April 15, 2025, meeting, the City Council received a report on the proposed rate adjustments and authorized the initiation of the Proposition 218 process, including notification to affected property owners.

The item will return to the City Council for final consideration following a Public Hearing on June 17, 2025.

Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Refuse Rates

Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Coronado will hold a Public Hearing at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Coronado on June 17, 2025, at 4:00 p.m., or as soon as possible thereafter as the matter can be heard in the Council Chamber of the Civic Center, 1825 Strand Way, Coronado, California, 92118 for the purpose of considering an increase in rates for refuse services effective July 1, 2025.

The rate schedule includes all residential, multi-family, commercial, and special service rates proposed under the City’s exclusive franchise agreement with EDCO.
