La Quinta, CA 92247-1504
RE: 2026 Rate Adjustment
Dear Mr. Villalpando,
Please find the attached refuse and recycling rate sheets effective July 1, 2026 in accordance with
Section 24 of the Amended and Restated Agreement.
The service component of the rates, reflects an adjustment in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the
period of March 2025 to March 2026 which was 3.09%. The CPI service component adjustment for
residential tax roll will be $.61 per month which also includes the net recycling and HHW adjustments.
The service component adjustment for a commercial 3-yard container receiving service one time per
week (most common) is $3.86 per month.
The disposal component of the rates reflects an increase of $.38 per month for residential customers.
The adjustment for a 3-yard commercial refuse container serviced once per week is $2.57 per month.
Included in the residential and commercial recycling rates are the recycling processing fees that have
been adjusted to reflect the net -recycling costs for 2026. We did find that the transportation costs were
underwater and made an adjustment which added an additional $.10 to the residential rate.
Please feel free to contact me, should you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Frank Orlett
Vice President
