The City of Peoria’s Solid Waste program provides service to 55,462 household accounts and several hundred commercial and multi-family accounts. The City of Peoria currently has an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Glendale for the disposal of trash and for the purchase of recyclable materials. Peoria also has similar agreements with the City of Phoenix and Waste Management. It is beneficial to the City of Peoria to maintain agreements with all three entities. Access to multiple locations allows greater flexibility in routing collection vehicles and maximizes efficient service delivery. 

The original term of the Glendale Agreement was for three (3) years with two (2) options to extend the Agreement for three (3) years each at the sole discretion of the City. The current Intergovernmental Agreement will expire on June 30, 2017 with two (2) three (3) year options remaining.

City of Glendale IGA for Landfill Disposal Services:

The City of Peoria has an existing Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Glendale for Landfill Disposal Service which was approved on August 7, 2014. 

The term of this agreement shall become effective the date it is signed and approved by both parties, and shall continue until June 30, 2020. This agreement may be extended on terms and conditions acceptable to both Glendale and Peoria for one (1) additional period of three (3) years.

The proposed Landfill Tipping Fee for the next three years is listed as follows:

Rates:

The Tipping Fee includes the current $0.25 per ton Arizona Department of Environmental Quality tax.

All loads delivered after 4:05pm (AZ time) will be assessed an additional $7.00 per ton.

The rates are based on a minimum annual of 25,000 tons annually brought by the City of Peoria Solid Waste vehicles. If the minimum annual tonnage is not met, the following year rate will be increased by $2.00 per ton.  

The City of Peoria and City of Glendale entered into the current agreement on August 7, 2014. 

A:  Council could act to approve the intergovernmental agreement with the City of Glendale for Landfill Disposal Services.

B:  Council could decline to approve the intergovernmental agreement with the City of Glendale for Landfill Disposal Services.

The proposed Agreement between the City of Peoria and City of Glendale allows the City of Peoria to continue to use the Glendale Landfill Disposal Services and provides Peoria with rate certainty for the next three years.  The rate of $25.00 per ton for the 2018 fiscal year has already been incorporated into the existing sanitation rate.
