Solid Waste Disposal Fees
At a glance
- What: O-26-35 (Peña, by request) amends the Municipal Solid Waste Ordinance (ROA 1994 section 9-10-1), Appendix: Collection and Disposal Rates, to increase disposal fees at the convenience centers for residents and businesses outside Albuquerque city limits, and amends section 9-10-1-11 "Collection Fees" to require proof of residency for use of the City municipal landfill and convenience centers.
- Decision (August 3, 2026): Passed 8-1 on Peña's motion under Final Actions. For: Baca, Bassan, Champine, Fiebelkorn, Grout, Peña, Rogers, Telles. Against: Lewis.
- Path to the vote: Introduced at the Council President's review of May 27, 2026 (the introduced title covered only the fee increase; the proof-of-residency requirement appears in the later title). On June 1, Grout's Amendment No. 1 carried 9-0 and Peña moved to postpone as amended to August 3 (9-0).
- Gap: The action summary does not give the new fee amounts or any discussion.
