What is the Fuel/Oil Recovery fee, and why is it still incurred when the fuel cost is decreasing?

Given the extraordinary volatility surrounding fuel/oil prices nationwide, combined with the fact that fuel/oil is a significant portion of the investment we make every day to provide you with outstanding waste services, this surcharge allows us to keep up with the cost of meeting that obligation to you.

We use an index-based fee that will be adjusted monthly. The fee is based on the Regional U.S. Average On-Highway Diesel Fuel Prices reported by the U.S. Department of Energy (this index is highly correlated with other major fuel price indices worldwide); for your ongoing reference, please visit this page.
