Hopkinsville City Council approved a residential trash rate increase on first-reading at Tuesday’s meeting, meaning residential Herby Curby trash collection service in Hopkinsville would be going up by $3.41 each month.
Hopkinsville Solid Waste General Manager Tony Sicari brought the request before council due to steadily increasing service costs and he’s hopeful this will be last increase they request for a good while. It also raises the rates for apartments and economy collection to $25, which are increases of $10.13 and $12.83 respectively and Sicari says to make rates uniform across the board to hopefully be fairer to all customers.
A trash rate increase from the Hopkinsville Solid Waste Enterprise was approved on the first reading by the Hopkinsville City Council Tuesday night.
Once approved on the second reading, the minimum rates for garbage and trash collection will increase to $25 per month for everyone across the board.
Those increases mean residences utilizing 95-gallon containers move from $21.59 per month up to $25, apartments were previously rated $14.87 per month will also increase to $25 and finally, the economy classification will see the increase from $12.17 to $25 per month.
This will be the first price increase HSWE has proposed over the past 15 years, with the last rate change being in 2005.
