The City Council shall have exclusive authority to determine reasonable and proper rates to be charged for the collection of garbage, refuse, recycling and solid waste and to fix the maximum rate which may be charged therefor. The applicant granted approval to collect or haul MSW must conform to the rate schedule as outlined in the application unless approval is received from the City Council for a rate change. Rate changes may be granted from time to time, but no more often than on an annual basis by resolution of the City Council. A portion of the approved rate will be a mandatory charge paid by all customers for recycling services provided by the approved collection contractor. No relief from this portion of the rate will be granted for personal or group recycling programs.
