Sanitation Company Settles with San Francisco for $100 Million to Refund Overcharged Costumers

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously approved a $100 million settlement with Recology after City Attorney Dennis Herrera sued the trash hauling monopoly over allegations of illegal gifts and inflated customer rates due to underreported revenue.

The lawsuit followed a federal investigation of City Hall corruption that first became public with last year’s arrest of former Public Works head Mohammed Nuru, who has been charged with fraud.

The refund includes 5% interest.
