NOTICE OF UTILITY TARIFF FILING
The REGULATORY COMMISSION OF ALASKA (Commission) gives notice that Alaska Waste Mat-Su, LLC d/b/a Alaska Waste (AWMS) filed TA74-731, seeking to update its residential disposal surcharge. AWMS proposes an increase of the residential disposal surcharge from 4.17 percent to 5.83 percent. The increase in AWMS’ residential disposal surcharge is due to an increase in the Matanuska–Susitna Borough’s (Mat-Su) disposal fees from $125.00 per ton to $127.00 per ton. The proposed disposal surcharge is to be calculated by multiplying the 12 month trailing disposal component by the percentage change in the disposal fee. A sample of the disposal surcharge increase can be seen in the table below.
| Cart Size | 12 Month Trailing Disposal Component in $ | Percentage Change in Disposal Fee | Residential Disposal Surcharge |
| 32 Gal Cart | $6.21 | 5.83% | $0.36 |
| 64Gal Cart | $8.67 | 5.83% | $0.51 |
| 96 Gal Cart | $13.72 | 5.83% | $0.80 |
| Can/Bag Service | $1.34 | 5.83% | $0.08 |
In addition to the proposed change to the disposal surcharge, AWMS requested a waiver of the 45-day statutory notice period. Pursuant to 3 AAC 48.300, AWMS is requesting an early effective date of June 30, 2017, to allow the disposal surcharge to be effective with the July 1st increase to the Mat-Su’s disposal fee.
