The adjustment shall be a pro rate adjustment based on the fixed constants of; 20 cubic yard capacity collection vehicles and 150 households per load. Example: Increase: $1.00 per cubic yard Capacity: 20 cubic yards per vehicle Volume: 150 households Pro Rata Formula: $1.00 per cubic yard x 20 cubic yards = $20.00 per load increase. $20.00 per load divided by 150 households = .13 per household x 4.33 weeks per month (once per week collection) = $ .56 per month per household adjustment.
