Effective January 1, 2026, disposal rates at all Mason County Transfer and Drop Box
Stations will increase by 2.8%, in accordance with Resolution No. 2022-27.
This annual adjusted is based on the August Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for the
Seattle -Tacoma -Bellevue area, as specified in the resolution adopted in 2022. The
increase helps cover the rising costs of operating the Shelton, Hoodsport, Union, and
Belfair solid waste facilities.
