FY 2023 TRIM Notice
Your FY 2023 TRIM notice reflects the increase to the solid waste fees which has been approved by City Council. Due to the population growth and increased operational and personnel costs, a rate adjustment is crucial to maintain the same level of service and provide financial stability to the Solid Waste Department.
This is the first increase in 15 years and you will receive the same
- pickup frequency
- access to the solid waste drop-site
- code enforcement to combat illegal dumping.
Keep in mind that since 2008 the Consumer Price Index has gone up by 90% and this year’s fee increase is only 18%. So, even with the increase, you still get more for less. This will be effective on October 1, 2023 and fee’s will be paid through the tax bill.
If you have additional questions, please email us at FeeQuestions@cityofhomestead.com
