Century Bumps Up Garbage Rates
January 4, 2012
The new year is bringing a slight increase to garbage bills in Century.
Monday night, the town council voted to increase residential service from $15.04 per month to $15.38 — a 34 cent increase — for household waste. The town is passing along a 2.9 percent rate increase from Allied Waste, the town’s service provider, according to Mayor Freddie McCall.
Commercial refuse service from the town will also increase by 2.9 percent.
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story stated that residential bills would increase from $11.46 to $11.80. Those figures accurately reflect the amount of a customer’s bill that pays for Allied Waste residential service through the Town of Century. Residential bills also include an additional $3.58 for bulk trash pickup, which is now included in the story above.

If the garbage rate is $11.46 a month for Century why does my bill
I get from Town of Century say $15.04 each month ?
The county board of commissioners has added an additional $1.40 to every ECUA residential trash account. Take this fee away and the rate for trash pick-up becomes more reasonable. These fees are nothing more than hidden taxes that are often much higher than the sales tax rate! TEA – Taxed Enough Already!!
If Allied Waste can charge $11.80 monthly with an increase… Why does the ECUA charge $20.11 for the same household pickup in Molino ? Don’t feel bad Century… We have to use ECUA for regular pickup .
