Century Raises Garbage Rates
November 18, 2020
Century residents will see an increase on their garbage bill next month.
The town contracts with Republic Services to collect garbage within the town limits. Republic has a provision in their contract that allows them to increase the rates they charged the town each December to match the Consumer Price Index. The town annually passes the rate increase directly along to residents.
That increase will amount to 3.4%, or about 80 cents, per customer, according to Interim Town Manager Vernon Prather.
Residential sanitation customers in Century will pay a monthly fee of $23.63.
Century renewed a five year contract with Republic Services in July.

I can see why their mayor was voted out
Nice of them to raise the rate and then forget to pickup the garbage today.
“Wonder what the ECUA bid was. Or weren’t they allowed to bid on the SAME BID SHEET.”
ECUA was not given a chance to bid. They did not take bids…they just straight renewed a contract.
Wonder what the ECUA bid was. Or weren’t they allowed to bid on the SAME BID SHEET.
Since the raise in fee is past down to the consumer, shouldn”t the consumer have a say in who Century contracts for the service.
I know someone who pays Republic $55 per quarter just outside of Atmore. It sounds like Century is acting as the middle man and adding an extra fee. Could Century residents just pay Republic directly and bypass the town?
You don’t get free garbage with free gas????????????????
Based on the CPI?
Now there needs to be an audit of Republic.
Do not tell that lie that based on the CPI they want to raise rates.
Who does oversite of crap like this?
They are screwing the consumers again with Junk Math.
