Covina : Trash Fee Increase OKd
Trash-collection fees for residents will go up 8.6% following the City Council’s decision to approve a rate increase requested by Covina Disposal Co.
The company said an increase was necessary because of higher fees it must pay the Los Angeles County Sanitation District Landfill and the BKK Landfill. In its request to the city, the company said it needed an increase to cover $4,800 in additional costs, including landfill fees and a 6% franchise fee.
Beginning Monday, the monthly refuse-collection fee for single-family residences will increase from $8 to $8.69. The fee for multiple-family customers such as apartment buildings will go up from $5.71 to $6.20 per dwelling unit.
