Not automatically. The rate the county pays Waste Management adjusts each year based on a published federal cost index for trash collection service. The fee residents pay is set separately by the Board of Supervisors and is reviewed once a year. By law, the resident fee, combined with other system revenues, cannot exceed the actual cost of operating the system, and no fee increase can take effect without published public notice and a notice placed on the first bill that reflects the increase.
