New 3-Year Trash Contract Begins Between Century, Allied Waste
December 1, 2010
Wednesday was the first day of a new three-year franchise agreement between the town of Century and Allied Waste, and for the average resident there will be no major change.
Century’s 700 residential customers will continue to pay $15.04 per month for trash collection. Allied will continue to pick up household waste on Wednesdays, but Allied will no longer collect yard waste and items like discarded furniture. The Town of Century will collect those items on the first and third Tuesday of each month.
The town will save $3.58 per customer per month by self-collecting yard waste, or about $30,000 per year.
Under the new three year deal Century will also receive a $400 per month — $4,800 per year — discount on dumpsters at city facilities, and trash at the town hall will be collected at no charge.
The bottom line for residential customers, according to Mayor Freddie McCall, is that service will remain the same for Century’s residential household waste customers.
In addition, most of Century’s 35 business trash customers will see a five percent decrease in their monthly bills, according to Seren Ainsworth, municipal services manager for Allied Waste.

Allied Waste are terrible, they destroy the curbs , hardly ever pick up the trash, skipping over several times. Charge high prices and constantly destroy trash cans and dumping trash in the road. They honestly just don’t care
Several times they have to be called to actually pick up your trash.
I hope the people of century have better luck with AW than i have had. The price has gone up the service has gone down. And if u do have a problem and call the office u get the run around, And if u want to talk to a supervisor,they will not transfer u to speak to someone,We were paying $17 and some change a month for two pick up days, Now we r paying over $18 and down to one pick up day. ; (
