The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste
Agency's FY12 budget and fee schedule, which were approved by the Agency's Board
of Directors yesterday. They will go into effect on July 1, 2011. Copies of both are
attached. The Agency's posted tonnage fee and contract tonnage fee will increase by
$1.00 per ton in the coming year. Its special waste fee will increase by $2.00 per ton.
Its tire recycling, appliance recycling, and minimum fees will not change. Its yard waste
composting fee will be set in approximately three months, after a FY2012 service
contract has been awarded.
The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency is a 28E partnership of the County
and City of Dubuque. It owns and operates essential public utility infrastructure,
including a municipal solid waste landfill, a composting facility, a household hazardous
materials collection facility, an e-scrap recycling program, and multiple recyclables drop -
off stations. The Agency receives no tax or per capita fee subsidies, relying solely on
the fees charged at its facilities to operate as the not - for - profit, solid waste disposal
utility for Dubuque and Delaware counties. It appreciates your past and future support.
