What changed

Murrey's Disposal Company, Inc. (DBA Olympic Disposal) has filed tariff revisions with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) under Docket Number TG-260054. The company is requesting a less than statutory notice period to implement these changes, which aim to generate approximately $950,000 (2.4%) in additional annual revenue from residential, commercial, and multi-family services, and $348,000 (5.8%) from drop-box services. These increases are driven by a rise in disposal fees at the Pierce County Recycling, Composting and Disposal, LLC d/b/a LRI facility, from $184.99 to $195.32 per ton, effective March 1, 2026.

The company serves approximately 68,200 residential, 3,000 multi-family, 1,900 commercial, and 329 drop-box customers in Pierce County. The proposed tariff revisions will directly impact these customers through increased service costs. Compliance officers should note the effective date of March 1, 2026, and the company's request for less than statutory notice, which may indicate an expedited review process by the UTC. The last general rate case provisionally became effective June 1, 2025, subject to review and refund.
