It shall be the duty of the City Council to set a charge or fee for the cost of collecting and disposing garbage in the City by establishing both residential and commercial fees. From and after September 1, 2017, and until otherwise prescribed by ordinance, the monthly fee for collection and disposal of garbage shall be as follows:
Container | Equivalent Units | Monthly Rate (Once A Week) | Monthly Rate (Twice A Week) |
Grey - 95 gal. | 1 | $12.25 | $24.50 |
Black - 300 gal. | 1 | 36.75 | 73.50 |
The monthly rate will cover each singular garbage container being emptied once a week. If a citizen requires that their garbage container be emptied more often they may schedule additional recurring services with the Public Works Director (PWD) for an additional cost. Multiple garbage containers may be requested through the PWD for an additional cost as described in the above chart. Finally, the PWD may schedule additional one-time services for citizens requesting additional services due to extraordinary circumstances. The scheduling and cost of these one-time services shall be determined by the PWD based on scheduling priorities and the estimated total number of gallons.

A. Construction, demolition, or remodeling debris including, but not limited to, roof shingles, siding, concrete, or plaster.
