Shelby adopts ordinance raising residential garbage rate to $19.25 a month
Summary
The Shelby City Council adopted Ordinance No. 0526 on May 5, 2026, increasing residential solid-waste collection charges from $18.00 to $19.25 per month effective July 1, 2026, citing higher tipping fees at the county landfill.
The Shelby City Council on May 5 adopted Ordinance No. 0526, raising the monthly residential garbage-collection fee to $19.25 effective July 1, 2026.
Mayor Ron Kroll presided as the council reviewed a proposed $1.25 increase presented by R&S Waste, which the meeting record attributes to higher tipping fees at the Shelby County Landfill. Council member Karen Schlueter moved to approve Ordinance No. 0526 on first reading and to waive the second and third readings; Council member Todd Frank seconded the motion. The motion passed on a roll-call vote recorded as “All ayes.”
The ordinance amends Chapter 10 to set the fee for solid-waste collection and disposal service at $19.25 per month for each residential premise beginning July 1, 2026. The document on file lists standard repealer, severability and effective-date provisions and states the ordinance will take effect after final passage, approval and publication as provided by law.
The council’s action followed the meeting’s consent approvals and several other routine motions. The council did not record any formal amendments to the ordinance text during the meeting. No public comment is recorded in the meeting minutes regarding the rate change.
The ordinance passage completes the council’s stated process at the May 5 meeting: first reading passed, second and third readings waived, and final adoption. The new rate will appear on residential utility billing after the ordinance’s effective date.
