Raymore reviews trash and recycling rates ahead of June proposal

Raymore City Council is preparing to review its waste management rates in June, as discussions highlighted the city's strong customer base and competitive pricing. With over 8,000 residents utilizing trash services and more than 6,000 participating in recycling programs, the council is keen to maintain its position as one of the lowest-cost providers in the metro area.

During the recent council work session, officials noted that the current rates, provided by Constable, will be evaluated against industry increases over the past year. This annual review is crucial for ensuring that residents continue to receive affordable waste management services while also considering the evolving costs in the industry.

The council emphasized the importance of the additional services offered by Constable, which set them apart from other haulers. These services include enhanced recycling options, which have been a topic of interest for the council. As the city prepares for the upcoming rate proposal from Constable, officials are looking forward to addressing community needs and ensuring that residents benefit from comprehensive waste management solutions.

The upcoming discussions will not only focus on rates but also on how to improve recycling efforts in Raymore, reflecting the city's commitment to sustainability and responsible waste management. As the council moves forward, residents can expect updates on the proposed changes and how they will impact their services.
