Excess Liter Fee Requirement and Renewal Packets
On September 1, 2026, The Revenue Management Bureau mailed ELF renewal packets to businesses subject to the Excess Liter Fee. These businesses are Fast Food Businesses, Convenience Markets, Gasoline Station Markets and Liquor Stores. The purpose of this ordinance is to maintain safe, clean and sanitary streets, sidewalks, and public spaces by assessing a fee on businesses known to generate particularly high amounts of disposable materials that end up as trash and litter on the streets.
