Land Use Fee Status and Hauler Proposition 218 Proceeding

April 8, 2026

IMPORTANT UPDATE – SOLID WASTE PROGRAM

Imperial County would like to share an important update regarding solid waste services:

  • The Solid Waste Land Use Fee is NOT moving forward at this time.
  • The County IS moving forward with the Proposition 218 process for hauler (trash collection) services.

We understand there has been some confusion between these two efforts. To clarify:

  • The Land Use Fee will not be implemented at this time.
  • The hauler service program—which includes three-container service for trash, recycling, and organics—is moving forward.

This hauler program is part of the County’s commitment to comply with State requirements under SB 1383 and to provide consistent, reliable solid waste services to residents.


ONLINE TOWN HALL – COMING SOON

Imperial County will be hosting an online town hall to:

  • Provide an overview of the hauler service program
  • Answer community questions
  • Share next steps and anticipated timelines

Additional details, including the date and how to participate, will be announced soon.


We encourage all residents to stay informed and take part in this process.
For questions in the meantime, please contact Imperial County Public Works.
