Recology rates to see increase in Gearhart
By R.J. MARX
Seaside Signal
Gearhart heard a presen-
tation from Recology rate
analyst Dave Larmouth, as
he presented a proposal for
a 2.70% rate hike, effective
July 1. The rate is tied to the
annual change in the con-
sumer price index, he told
councilors Wednesday, June
5.
With the construction
of a permanence hazard-
ous waste collection pro-
gram, the city will see an
increase from $3.50 per ton
on inbound trash to $5 per
ton at the transfer station, in
order to help cover the costs
of the building and operating
the facility.
A 32 gallon curbside cart
service would see a monthly
rate of $20.52 to $21.07.
Ninety-gallon
cart
pickup, currently $34.25,
would rise to $35.17.

Recology
Gearhart will see a 2.70% increase in collection rates.
Sideyard pickup of a
90-gallon gart would increase
from $52.48 to $53.90. Rates
on 2- to 8-yard containers,
debris boxes and rental con-
tainers would likely increase
at the 2.70 rate.
A raise in recycling rates
could be ahead, he added,
if it gets harder to recycle
those products.
The new recycling facil-
ity, anticipated in August,
drew praise from Councilor
Dan Jesse. “I’m in full sup-
port of the increase for haz-
ardous materials,” he said.
“I’ve been bringing this up
every year for years and
I think it’s great to get this
going back on again.”
