Dear City Clerk:
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste
Agency's FY15 budget and fee schedule, which were approved by the Agency's Board
of Directors earlier this evening. The FY15 fees will go into effect on July 1, 2014.
Copies of the FY15 budget and fee schedule are attached. The Agency's posted landfill
fee and contract landfill fee will both increase by $1.00 per ton in the coming year. Its
landfill special waste fee will increase by $2.00 per ton. Its $8.00 minimum landfill fee
will not change. The Agency's FY15 yard debris, appliance, tire, and electronics
recycling fees will be established in approximately two months, after bid proposals have
been received and service contracts awarded.
The Dubuque Metropolitan Area Solid Waste Agency is a 28E partnership of the County
and City of Dubuque. The Agency owns and operates essential public utility
infrastructure, including our area's only municipal solid waste landfill, publicly -owned
yard debris and food scraps composting facility, and regional household hazardous
materials collection facility. In addition, the Agency sponsors an electronic scrap
recycling program, nine recyclables drop-off stations, and partners with the local
privately -owned and operated materials recovery facility. 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 management utility for Dubuque and Delaware
counties. It truly appreciates your past and future support.
Sincerely,
Doug Haglies
Doug Hughes
DMASWA Facility Supervisor
