BACKGROUND

  On March 21, 2000, Waste Management of Washington -  Rainier, G-237, filed 
with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, revisions to its 
current tariff naming rates to become effective April 1, 2000.

  The revisions consisted of:  Naming residential and multi-family deferred 
recycling credits.

  At the Commission's Open Public Meeting on March 29, 2000, the Commission 
suspended the filing to allow for investigation to ensure the rights and 
interests of the public would not be injuriously affected.  Temporary rates 
were allowed at company proposed levels so that customers would not experience 
a rate increase.

  Pursuant to review of the filing and Staff recommendations, the Commission 
now finds that the Complaint and Order Suspending Docket TG-000425 should be 
dismissed and the present temporary rates be made permanent.
  
O R D E R

  IT IS ORDERED THAT:

  1. The Complaint and Order issued March 29, 2000, suspending Docket 
TG-000425 is hereby dismissed.

  2. The present temporary rates shall be authorized to become effective 
November 1, 2000, on a permanent basis.

  DATED at Olympia, Washington, and effective this 25th day of October, 2000.
