Garbage Rates Rising For Century Residents

November 10, 2016

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

The rate for residential service will increase 53 cents, from $16.45 to $16.98 per month for household waste. The town is passing along a 3.21 percent rate increase from Republic Services, the town’s service provider. Residents will notice the price increase beginning in December.

Under their contract with Century, Republic is allowed to periodically adjust rates based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index.  With this hike, the residential garbage rate in Century will have increased $1.94 per month  since 2011.

Commercial trash service from the town will also increase by 3.21 percent.

    I am not sure because I get and pay my ECUA bill electronically I think your rates would increase. Hope someone has a paper bill they can post from.

    I had wondered about ECUA also. What would the rate be compared to this one, will they pick up the roadside yard debris, and especially either offer curbside recycling or a central location to recycle.
    Kevin, I think your should consider putting your name into town council to be considered. We need someone like you, you seem positive, young and smart and care about the town.

    I would sure like to see an end to this contract and follow suit with the county with ECUA as the garbage service provider.
