Solid Waste Strategic Plan and future trash rate restructuring
Boise

Impact analysis
No across-the-board increase proposed; future adjustments would shift costs so heavier users pay more — overall revenue needs wouldn't grow beyond normal rate increases.
Households that compost and recycle diligently could see lower costs, and the landfill stays usable longer.
Households with extra trash capacity could pay more as rates shift toward usage.
