COMMISSIONERS
MEETING DATE: June 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Authorization of Rate Adjustments for Deschutes Transfer and Approval of
Additional Container Services for Republic Services' Wilderness Disposal Service
Area
RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Approval of Board Order 2022-029 to provide for a 20% rate adjustment for services
provided to Deschutes County by Deschutes Transfer and authorization for Republic
Services to implement additional container services and rates in their Wilderness Disposal
service area.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes Transfer Rate Request
Deschutes Transfer provides waste and recycling transfer services from the County's four
rural transfer stations. Waste received at these facilities is hauled to Knott Landfill for
disposal. Recyclables received at the transfer stations are accumulated in drop boxes
rented from Deschutes Transfer and, depending on the commodity, are hauled to the
Recycling Center at Knott Landfill for processing (primarily for Freon recovery from
refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners), or are delivered to Republic Services' Mid -
Oregon Recycling facility where the materials are consolidated for shipment to out -of -
County recycling processors.
As shown on the attached 2022 Rate Adjustment Request Detail, Deschutes Transfer
operated at a very low net income margin of 0.68% in 2021. Their projection for 2022
shows that they will be operating at a -7.98% loss through 2022. The primary cost increases
contributing to the revenue decline include employee wages, fuel and oil, repair and
maintenance and depreciation. Republic Services has requested a 20% rate increase for the
services they provide to the Solid Waste Department. This rate increase will bring their net
income up to 10.02%, which is within the allowed 9-12% net revenue margin for the
franchise. After review of the request and discussions with Republic Services, staff feels
that the rate adjustment request is warranted and appropriate. It should be noted that the
last rate increase granted to Deschutes Transfer was in August 2017.
A comparison of the current and proposed rate changes are shown on the following table.

Wilderness Garbage and Disposal Service Additions
Republic Services recently added a front load truck to their fleet which can accommodate
larger size commercial containers. With this, they will be able to incorporate two larger
waste containers into the service offering for their commercial customers. It is anticipated
that commercial customers electing to move to the larger bins will see service cost savings
through the reduction of pick-up frequency needed.
The attached Board Order 2022-029 includes both the rate increase for Deschutes Transfer
and the service addition and rates for Wilderness Disposal.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Funds have been budgeted in the FY23 Solid Waste Operating Budget for the Deschutes
Transfer rate increase.
