Beginning in 2024, a new fee will be imposed by King County to cover the increasing costs of running the county’s landfill and transfer stations. As part of the rate restructuring, the FAC will be paired with a lower per-ton tipping fee, meaning the county will be collecting the same amount of revenue as before. This charge will be passed through to the County by Recology and applies to all garbage customers in City of Bothell; Recology will not retain these funds. Recology and the City of Bothell decided to make these charges visible on your garbage bill in the interest of transparency.
