Recycling has evolved from ancient resource conservation practices to a cornerstone of modern environmental sustainability, adapting to industrialization, global conflicts, and shifting markets. Yet in today’s fast-paced global environment, recycling must evolve once more—and local governments are in an ideal position to drive this change.
Raftelis is completing a solid waste rate study and service delivery model examination for the City of Memphis (City) Solid Waste Management Department (Department). The Department is experiencing increased costs and will be facing a revenue shortage and depletion of reserves in the near future as a result. Raftelis worked with City staff to examine costs and develop rates to increase revenue while also providing options for an increase in service level.
