Summary

During questions, the Town clarified that commercial dumpster charges are $22.00 per pickup and in-town residential garbage collection is $11.00 per month and mandatory for town residents.

Member Adam Harris asked whether the dumpster rate referred to store dumpsters and whether the Town charges $22.00 for each dump. Town Manager Stephen Lawson confirmed that the $22 is charged per pickup (so two pickups per week would be $44 per week), and Clerk/Treasurer Amanda Hawkins added that in-town residential garbage pickup is $11.00 per month and is mandatory for everyone living within town limits.

The committee accepted the clarification and factored the solid-waste fees into the broader discussion of utility charges and customer affordability while recommending the water and sewer adjustments to council.
