2012 Recycling Charge

City of Neenah — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 11:14:13 -0600

Since the 1990’s the City has provided recycling services to collect and transport residential recyclables to the landfill, collect yard waste, and maintain the collection center at the Tullar Road Garage. For 2012, that cost is estimated to be $545,500. In previous years, the State of Wisconsin returned well over half of the cost of recycling to the City in recycling grants. The property tax levy would typically fund the remaining costs.

With the new State budget passed in Madison, the amount of recycling grants provided by the state has been significantly reduced. The State also passed very strict levy limits for municipalities, limiting the increase in the tax levy for City operations to less than 1%.

For 2012, the City estimates it’s recycling grants at $203,000, or a 33% decrease from 2011. The difference between the 2012 cost of recycling ($545,500) and the estimated recycling grants ($203,000) is $342,500. This amount needs to be funded by city residents to maintain recycling services.

After much deliberation, the City Council approved a combination of tax levy ($97,300), other revenues ($31,350), the use of reserves ($21,350) and a new residential recycling fee ($192,500) to fund the $342,500. Once distributed to all residential properties, the recycling fee was calculated at $22.33 for one and two family homeowners. That amount is listed on your tax bill as a special charge.
