Congratulations Palm Beach County residents! Over the last fiscal year, you recycled more than 83,000 TONS of recyclables that otherwise would have wound up in the landfill. As a result, in Fiscal Year 2015 the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County has paid more than $629,000 to the cities through its Municipal Revenue Share Program.
It truly does pay to go green, and the Solid Waste Authority is proud to reward our municipal partners for the role they play in making Palm Beach County’s recycling programs successful. Since the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County started the Municipal Revenue Share Program in 2010, local municipalities have shared almost $8 million dollars.

The net Revenue Share for each municipality consists of the total recovered residential materials revenue received by the SWA for each quarter less the processing cost for that quarter. That amount is divided by the total tons received to determine an average price per ton and multiplied by the adopted annual Revenue Share percentage (50% in FY 15) to set the program price for the quarter. The revenue received from recovered materials varies depending on market prices and availability. For instance, this year, recycling revenues are depressed across the board. We attribute this to a global slowdown and an oversupply of many commodities, as well as the falling price of oil.
Self-haul municipalities receive their Revenue Share based on the actual weight of acceptable loads delivered to an approved SWA facility. The other municipalities, who share a common hauler, share the balance of those revenues in proportion with their total equivalent residential unit (ERU), which is calculated with single family and mobile homes as 1 ERU each and multifamily homes as 0.75 ERU per unit.
