Why have costs increased?
Since the last fee increase was in July 2006, the City has added new services, including residential food-waste and weekly green waste collection. We also plan to implement curbside, split-cart recycling that allows residents to put recyclables into a single container. In addition, the cost of doing business has increased significantly, including Transfer Station deferred maintenance, fuel prices, landfill disposal costs, equipment and labor costs, and the price for recyclables has fallen dramatically.
