On February 6, 2018, City Council adopted a resolution to increase the standard residential trash rate and senior discount trash rate effective immediately.
The 2018 trash rate increase and yearly CPI adjustment were requested by Republic Services in accordance with the provisions of their contract with the City of Fountain Valley. The trash rate increase is based on the annual CPI Index for Garbage and Trash Collection. Revenue generated will fund all costs associated with residential trash collection, disposal and processing, as well as compliance with regulatory agency requirements. The residential trash bill increased from the bi-monthly rate of $38.22 to the new rate of $38.84 on February 7, 2018, and will increase by the CPI Index for Garbage and Trash Collection each January 1 thereafter with the last approved increase effective January 1, 2022.
