County staff recommends $2 increase to monthly trash fee to cover rising costs
Summary
County Manager Thomas Weaver recommended a $2-per-month increase in trash service, moving the monthly charge from $20 to $22, to help cover solid waste cost pressures. The proposal was added to the agenda for further consideration.
County Manager Thomas Weaver told the board during the April 28 work session that solid-waste costs have risen and recommended a $2 monthly increase in the county's trash fee. "My recommendation is to increase the trash rates $2.00," Weaver said; the change would raise the current $20 monthly fee to $22.
Commissioners asked staff to add the item to the May agenda and to include comparative information on neighboring counties' rates. No vote was taken at the work session; staff was directed to provide a formal proposal and public-notice language if the commission chooses to proceed.
