Solid Waste Rates

Residents can be proud of Napa’s solid waste program that diverts approximately 69% of collected Materials Diversion Facilitymaterials from landfill. We have a robust recycling, food scrap and composting facility, and clean Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) collection vehicles. The City extended the life of equipment and vehicles with a contract extension with Napa Recycling & Waste Services (NRWS) but expenses are expected to exceed revenues by nearly $3.2 million in 2020.  Rates have not increased since 2016 but changes are proposed to meet the increasing costs of the City’s dynamic materials diversion program.

You can read about Napa's solid waste, recycling and composting programs, as well as the proposed rate increases in our notice to the community here:
