January 16, 2018 Council Report 2018-012
PROPOSED REVISION TO CITY CODE SECTION 1020.13
FUR BULK PICK-UP SERVICE FEES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends the following motion: Move to ap�rove Resolution 2018-008, revisin� the fees for Bulk
Pick-U� Service �er City Code Section 1020.13.
Overview
January l, 2018 Hennepin County raised the disposal fees for mattresses, hide-a-beds and box springs. At
the current rate at which the City of Hopkins charges its customers for these items, set forth in City Code
Section 1020.13, this increase is unsustainable to the refuse budget.
Resolution 2018-008 revises the following:
• Increases and itemizes the bulk pick-up service fees for mattresses, hide-a-beds and box springs.
• Removes the itemizations for air conditioners and appliances, as they are charged the standard
$25.00 per large item.
The fees proposed, if adopted, will better transfer the actual costs of disposal to the customer.

Anal_ysis of the Issue
Why are we �roposing that Bulk Pick-U� service fees be chan�
• Effective January 1, 2018, Hennepin County increased their disposal fees for mattresses, hide-a-
beds, and box springs from $25.00 to $50.00 per item.
• City of Hopkins currently charges refuse customers $25.00 plus taxes for these items.
• The current rate charged by the City is unsustainable to the refuse budget.
• The itemization of pick-up fees for air conditioners and appliances is unnecessary and redundant
since they are charged the standard $25.00 per large item.
The proposed Bulk Pick-Up service fees are as follows:
Bulk Pick-Up Service $25.00 Per 3/4 cubic yard and/or
County (9.75%) $2.44 large item, plus County &
State (9%) $2.25 State waste management
Total $29.69 fees
Mattresses $50.00 Per mattress
Hide-a-beds $50.00 Per hide-a-bed
Box Springs $50.00 Per box spring�
