Solid Resources Fee

The Solid Resources Fee (or, trash fee) rates are applied to those ratepayers who receive trash, recycling, and organics pickup service from LA Sanitation (LASAN).  The fee covers the cost of weekly service for trash, recycling, organics, and bulky item collection, as well as the suite of other services provided by LASAN.  An ordinance to enact an adjustment to the Solid Resources Fee was approved by Los Angeles City Council in October 2025. 

Ratepayers will see the following monthly fees on their upcoming Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) bills as listed below: 

• November 21, 2026: $55.95
• July 1, 2026: $59.53
• July 1, 2027: $60.44
• July 1, 2028: $63.27
• July 1, 2029: $65.93

Financial assistance may be available for households in need.

• Qualifying Low-Income Customer Assistant Program members will receive a 30% discount 
• Existing customers who are enrolled in the Lifeline or Low-Income Customer Assistance Program (EZ-SAVE Program) do NOT need to re-apply; these rate discounts will be automatically applied to the new rates
• Lifeline customers will receive a discount on their SRF fee, but for the purposes of that fee only they will be considered “Low-Income” customers, as SRF will no longer have a Lifeline program
• New customers who wish to apply for financial assistance should contact LA DWP to find out which program is the best fit for their needs, and maximizes discounts
• Customers may only be enrolled in one plan or the other - the Lifeline Program OR the Low-Income Customer Assistance Program (EZ-SAVE Program)
