Rate design for the compactor roll -off containers is similar to the rate design for the open -
top roll -off containers, with one primary exception. The rate design for compactor roll -off
containers does not include a cost for containers since the customers own their own
containers. Rates for customers located outside the City limits are calculated in the same
manner as rates developed for customers located within the City, however, a multiplier of
1.25 shall be applied to the four cost components.
