Refuse Rate-Setting

In June 2022, San Francisco voters passed Proposition F to reform the City’s refuse rate-setting process. Residents and rate payers can find information about steps involved in setting new rates and how they can provide feedback.

About

The Refuse Rate Reform Ordinance Of 2022 amends the Refuse Collection and Disposal Ordinance (“the Refuse Ordinance”) to restructure the refuse rate setting process to replace hearings before the Department of Public Works with a requirement that the Controller, as Refuse Rate Administrator, regularly monitor the rates and appear before the Refuse Rate Board to recommend rate adjustments.
