FY 2026/2027 Rate Adjustment for Solid Waste

The City of Banning is approving an annual rate adjustment for residential and commercial solid waste, recycling, and organics collection services provided by Waste Management under the existing Solid Waste Franchise Agreement enacted in April 2021. This adjustment, effective from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, reflects a financial update to service fees without introducing any physical changes to service infrastructure, collection methods, or expanded service areas. The adjustment is designed to align costs with operational expenses and market conditions while maintaining the scope of services previously agreed upon. No new environmental impacts or service expansions are anticipated as part of this adjustment. The rate change is purely fiscal and applies uniformly to all covered residential and commercial customers within the franchise territory. The City’s Director of Public Works and Senior Planner serve as the primary points of contact for inquiries, and the official posting of this action was made on July 10, 2026, through the state’s environmental planning portal. The adjustment remains consistent with the framework established by the original franchise agreement and is intended to ensure sustainable service delivery under current economic conditions.
