Century residents will soon see a slight increase on their garbage bills.

The rate for residential service will increase 34 cents, from $16.11 to $16.45 per month for household waste. The town is passing along a 2.6 percent rate increase from Allied Waste, the town’s service provider. Under their contract with Century, Allied is allowed to periodically adjust rates based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index.

With the hike, the residential garbage rate in Century will have increased $1.40 per month  since 2011.

    I see the wealthiest people burning their garbage (Especially Plastic) in 55gal drums, while poor folks like me pay the monthly service charge.

    We had one neighbor once (Now moved away) who would place their garbage in our can. At least they showed us the consideration of not burning it. That has to count for something as far as class is concerned.
